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.

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!

Greenwich House Pottery, New York City’s only non-profit venue dedicated exclusively to the ceramic arts, has announced the lineup for its 13th annual Made in Clay benefit.
Made in Clay (MIC) is New York’s annual, hotly anticipated ceramics event: a pottery sale, an exhibition, a celebration, and a fundraiser. The 2010 program will center on the notion of community and service in Greenwich Village and beyond. Made in Clay has always been about Greenwich House Pottery and all of the community programs it coordinates. These include everything from youth-directed and senior-citizen initiatives to scholarships for students. But this year in particular, with almost all nonprofits finding their coffers strained, the time proved right to reemphasize the need for neighborhood cohesion and ‘giving back.’
“We are an organization that provides an invaluable educational service,” said Sarah Archer, Director of Greenwich House Pottery. “But the raison d’etre of GHP is buoying the greater New York community through charitable work, and bringing ceramics to people who wouldn’t otherwise get to experience it.” The program kicks off on March 25th, 2010 from 6-9pm with a Preview Evening Benefit. Tickets are $100 ($75 tax-deductible). Guests will enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres, jazz courtesy of the Ben Campbell Trio, first pick of pots on sale, a snazzy “Seize the Clay” GHP tote, and a custom-made trivet from our own kilns. RSVPs can be sent to to Yojiro Moro at [email protected], or (212) 991-0003 ext 403.
March 26 will feature the general Made in Clay opening from 6-9PM. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served; no RSVP is required But Made in Clay is also a great place to find fresh affordable art to brighten up your apartment for springtime. Accordingly, the benefit sale will be on view from March 26th-April 29th. The work of over 40 artists selected from across the country convey the wonderful variety of American studio pottery andceramic sculpture today, from Kurt Weiser and Akio Takamori to Sam Chung and Kristen Kieffer. Guest artists’ work is displayed along side Greenwich House Pottery’s own artists (including residents and students), who exhibit works ranging from vases and sake sets to nesting bowls and elegant jewelry. Made In Clay also offers an introduction to Greenwich House Pottery’s Storefront, the only venue of its kind in New York City to offer an inspiring array of contemporary studio ceramics year-round.
About Greenwich House Located at 27 Barrow Street, Greenwich House offers a wide array of programs designed to enrich the lives of New Yorkers, including a Music School (46 Barrow Street), nursery and Preschool programs, health care and services for people living with HIV/AIDS, and Senior services.
Invited Artists: Jennifer Allen, Christa Assad, Posey Bacopoulos, Eve Behar, Sam Chung, Naomi Cleary, Stacy Cushman, Kathy Erteman, Diana Fayt, Julia Galloway, David Gibson, Hiroe Hanazono, Molly Hatch, Lorraine Olderman, Gail Kendall, Kristen Kieffer, Simon Levin, Matt Long, Lorna Meaden, Sequoia Miller, Jeff Oestreich, Meg Oliver, Joe Pintz, Brenda Quinn, Don Reitz Roseberry-Winn, Tim Rowan, Nick Schneider, Mark Shapiro, Tyler Speicher, Helena Starcevic, Munemitsu Taguchi, Akio Takamori, Julie Terestman, Shoko Teruyama, Kurt Weiser, Adam Welch, Tara Wilson, Sheryl Zacharia
