Source • Material An Exhibition on Water and the Ceramic Cup-Curated by Lindsay Rogers

by | Oct 27, 2012 | Uncategorized

November 1 –
December 31

Water is everywhere. As abundant as an ocean and as delicate as a
drop, water is the source of all life. This eternally human need
consistently shifts the way we build our tools, our cultures and our
lives. Historically speaking, water has become a dictator of form, an
aesthetic inspiration, a human habit and an honest informer of the
ecological state of our world. In this exhibit, contemporary ceramic
artists will address the theme of water through the form of the ceramic
cup.

Source • Material: An exhibition on Water and the Ceramic Cup will run from November 3rd through December 31st.  

Curated by Lindsay Rogers.

Artist Reception: Nov. 3rd at 6pm

Thanks to Lindsay Rogers for the following preview of a few selected pieces and her thoughts on their inclusion in the show:
 
When selecting the artists for the show it was important to me that a variety of styles of work be presented.
These are a just a couple of the MANY wonderful pieces from the show!
Chandra Debuse
 
I chose Chandra Debuse’s work because of their outright playful
demeanor! I knew she would come up with something wonderful through her
amazing use of color and narrative on her pots.

 

Natalie Tornatore
 
I chose Natalie Tornatore’s work because I appreciate the soft
quality of her forms and her talent for breaking up space on a vessel. I
thought her graphic use of line and a muted palette would be a
wonderful addition to the show. 
Diana Fayt
I chose Diana Fayt’s work because of the drawing quality and her
vibrant use of color. Her work often showcases beautiful and stylized
imagery from nature and I thought this would lend itself perfectly to
the theme.

This week! Pottery on the Hill.

by | Oct 23, 2012 | Uncategorized

October 26 through October 28, fifteen nationally-recognized ceramic
artists bring recently-fired, colorful and durable creations to Hill
Center for show and sale.

This Friday evening’s reception party with these artists assures
first choice among their freshly-fired creations. This one-on-one time
with these artists begins at 6:30 p.m. through 9 p.m. Reserve tickets $25 online. 

If you haven’t discovered their pottery, this is your unique
opportunity to talk with them about finding a place in your home for
their quality dinner plates, mugs, platters, vases and pots. These are
one-of-a-kind, shaped by hand and finished by fire in time for this
intimate venue at Hill Center.

Many in the Washington, D.C. region who over the years have traveled
far to find these artists, will drive the short distance to be at Hill
Center to purchase the plates, mugs, cookware and collectables they have
made a part of their lives.

The public show and sale continues during the weekend with free admission both Saturday morning October 27 at 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday October 28 at noon until 4 p.m.

aspects of our surrounding geography.  As we move within our
environment, so we interact with his works, taking in all the various
viewpoints and responses that involvement in place offers.  The forms
and glazes of Bradley’s hand-built ceramic pieces incorporate the
rhythms and colors of the prairie and the mountains.  This artist loves
the land and offers us opportunities to take a bit of it home to enjoy
and cherish.

Les Manning

Gallery Talks
The Artist and The Curator
Saturday, November 24, 3-5 pm

As part of our Month of Ceramics and coinciding with the November
24 reception for the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies exhibition

“Les Manning Common/Opposite“
(November 7-December 5),
we are pleased to have Les Manning and Joanne Marion (curator, Esplanade) speaking about the exhibition and ceramics in general at our gallery.

Continue the discussion down Bear Street at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies reception at 7 pm.

Manning’s new works show a rich emotional and metaphorical register
while drawing deeply upon his personal experiences and knowledge of
Canada’s lands. Juxtaposing forms, textures and colours, Manning evokes
the monumental reach of modernism as an artistic endeavour. Playful
references to the humble objects of everyday lighten his sophisticated
and contemporary appreciation of the more base aspects of nature, to
reveal the rich and contradictory poetry of our ordinary world.
