Last summer I had the pleasure of firing with Robin and seeing the intense level of skill and dedication his has for his passion for soda firing. It was quite the learning experience which not only left me with a greater appreciation for the firing process but some gorgeous pots as well.

Make sure to check out Robin’s lovely wife Eden’s blog for a write up about the exhibition.

Call for participation – FOREVER A Collaborative Exibition

by | Nov 25, 2010 | Uncategorized

You are invited to join FOREVER, a Tampa NECEA exhibition that
connects the archival nature of clay to the poetic and preposterous
nature of a FOREVER* postage stamp. Ceramic material provides us with
some of our oldest records of history. The FOREVER stamp offers the
possibility of imagining an equally distant future.

Please send us just a bit of wet clay. The journey through the postal
system will leave its impression on the material. These marks become
a tale. We will fire your impressions of the journey, archiving the
process. Your bit of clay will join others and the collection will
form the FOREVER exhibition at The Train Station and the Morean Arts
Center for Clay during the National Council on Education for Ceramic
Arts conference in March.

Post by December 15, 2010.
* The US Post Office offers FOREVER stamps, good as First Class
postage FOREVER regardless of price hikes or other unforeseeable
futures.
