hey all,
can we chat a minute?
so i’m loving having the emerging artist weekends on the blog. i love the idea of sharing work by new and upcoming artists and the search to find these artists is fun, like unwrapping a lovely gift when you find them. but….
i’m sure you’ve had this thought before as well: what defines an emerging artist?
the reason i’m asking this again is that unless someone submits their work (or that of a friend, etc) for the “emerging” catagory i don’t like to make assumptions and put people there. i would never want to offend someone. but if you do a search for emerging artists the range is pretty substantial. for example when i look at a list like this on at Ceramic Arts Daily i think wow, it’ll be years before i’m the level of emerging! is there a name for pre-emerging??? I don’t think i would have put any of these fine folks in an emerging catagory, but that’s me.
so i guess what it comes down to is that i’d like to enlist your help. i need academics to encourage their students to submit images. i need students to get together and take photos of their work and submit it. i need all of you out there who aren’t students but who consider themselves emerging to send in images. i need people from all over the world to submit and share the word.
and i need you to send those images to [email protected]
i need you to label the email as “emerging artist submission”
i need you to include a website, and an artist statement if you have one (but if you don’t then i need you to not stress and just send in images.)
i need you to consider the fact that this is an opportunity for good exposure with over 100k hits last year, which is over 40k unique visitors. but i also need you to not be intimidated by those numbers and just submit.
and most importantly i need you to understand how thankful i truly am for your help and contributions to musing. i really can’t do it without you all.

Earth & Fire is one of the country’s premiere ceramic events. For three days in June, over a hundred potters from across the UK and Europe come to Nottinghamshire to sell direct to the public from outdoor market stalls in the ancient abbey ruins and grounds.
The event attracts collectors, gallery owners, enthusiasts and the general public alike, who flock to Rufford to meet and talk to the potters selling everything from garden planters and sculptures, to bowls, pie dishes, teapots, mugs, plates and egg cups.
Truly a celebration of clay in all its forms, Earth and Fire also includes a programme of free demonstrations and talks, trade stands selling all things ceramic, and campus stands showcasing the next generation of potters.
Applications will open online for potential exhibitors until November 22nd
