SUBSTRATES™, and Keraflex
Keraflex Porcelain is made from ceramic raw materials and an organic binding matrix which burns out when fired. Once fired, Keraflex is pure porcelain – 0.5mm or 1.0mm thick. There is no other clay body that allows such a wide range of possibilities!

Dion Kieft is from the Netherlands and is currently undertaking an apprenticeship at Niek Hoogland Pottery (http://www.niekhoogland.nl/). This beautiful ceramic work is influenced by nature and decay but also by graffiti and mechanical objects.
Post Undergraduate Studies(special student)
work in ceramics in a non-degree seeking program. Students pursuing
post-undergraduate work at ISU will take credits as a “Graduate
Student At Large”. These students are given studio space and will get
materials through a minimal lab fee. Access to the ceramics area
faculty, and involvement in some components of academic curriculum
provide a rough framework for study.

emerging artist: LeeAnn Janissen
work explores the sympathetic magic that arises through representing
the natural world in miniature as a way to capture and control vast and
unfathomable forces. In the series of functional vessels Luna-ware, the
works begin with the creation of models of the moon in porcelain. These
models are then cut and combined with handles, rims and bases to form
domestic vessels. The dark grey, cratered, uneven Luna surface provides a
visual and tactile experience that contrasts strongly with the smooth,
shiny white surfaces of the rims and handles, and invites an examination
of the difference between “natural” and “made”.
emerging artist: Geryn Roche
in Ceramics at the University
of Iowa and am finishing up my MFA here in Texas. I work with cone 6
stoneware and porcelain and focus on making soft but structured forms
that are wheel thrown and altered. I have started introducing imagery
from my suburban childhood onto the surfaces
of my work using hand cut stencils and stamps. My aim is to create a
subtle narrative and loosely constructed spaces in order to bring to
mind memories of childhood, suburbia and home.

| Upcoming Show: April 19 – May 17 Yunomi Invitational 2013 (Online Only!) Yunomi (U-know-me)- A form of tea bowl, usually being taller than it Welcome to our yearly tradition…
This exclusively
online event is now in its seventh year of delighting potters and clay lovers alike; the Yunomi Invitational
is one of the our most diverse,
colorful, and entertaining shows to date. Invitations were sent out in mid-July of 2012;
with many immediate responses the list became more
clear with each passing day. Finally the roster was complete with
206
ceramic artists delivering over 1,000 Yunomi. The Invitational includes ceramic artists from legends to emerging artists,
living in Iowa City to
Sweden, using everything from porcelain to terra cotta, and even Yunomi that come with boxes, lids
and pedestals. From the minimalist to
illustrative with flora, fauna and geometric patterns and text, this annual invitational
gives us an extraordinary
glimpse into contemporary artists’ interpretation of a Yunomi. This year’s show has over
2,060 photos of Yunomi alone and as with any AKAR
show, accompanying artist biographies, statements and resumes
are
included. While this appears daunting in task, it truly has been a labor of love for all of us here at the gallery. Contributions to The Studio Potter: For How to View the Work: This show is viewable online ONLY. So this Friday, April 19th at 10:00 AM Central Time all the Yunomi will be viewable at www.akardesign.com |
