Cool Atmospheres
March 16-May 12
Opening Reception: Friday, March 16, 6-9 pm
“Cool Atmospheres” features the cone 6 soda fired stoneware and porcelain of Georgia artist Mark Knott, the salt fired earthenware of renowned potter Ron Meyers, and selections of cone 04 and cone 6 soda and wood/soda fired pots from the Claymakers’ community. This exhibition showcases “cooler” atmospheric firing at cone 04 and cone 6, with its unique surfaces and distinctive effects, which is a less common practice than higher temperature atmospheric firing. Flashing slips, succulent glazes, and the textures that pick up sodium accents so well make this show an exciting display of color, surface, and cooler atmospheric firing.
