Call for Entry – Potters Council 2011 Exhibition
Potters Council 2011 Exhibition: “The Shoulders We Stand On”
Once again, we celebrate the community of our council with a show of members’ work in conjunction with NCECA 2011.
The name of the show is “The Shoulders We Stand On“.
The 2011 Potters Council members show in Tampa, Florida will pay tribute to our roots, the significant influences that shape us and guide our work in clay. We are creative heirs standing on the shoulders of Giants. We cannot help but reference and renew their ideas in our own work. These distinctive inspirations become the touchstones of our best original efforts.
These muses are not always specific or singular. Your inspiration might lie in the simple forms of an anonymous ancient potter. Perhaps you’ve been seduced from afar by the work of legendary potters. A teacher may have given you a unique point of view, personal guidance or new set of skills.
Your work for this particular exhibition may have a visual link to a particular culture or artist. It might find its connection on a more philosophical level. it must however show both a clear source of inspiration and a truly original new direction. We do not seek copies of our roots, but works, which honor them with fresh, innovative interpretations.

Carole Epp at Centre Materia
Well I’m getting pretty excited. It’s not often I have a solo show and not often that I get to travel to see it, and also not often that I get to show at such an amazing gallery as Centre Materia.
I promise I’ll blog more about it and share some pics of the show set up once I get there.
In the meantime you can check out their website here.
And if you happen to be in the area please make sure to stop by and say Hi, I’d love to see you at the opening!
