call for entry: CONDUCTIVITY – The Many Faces of Copper in Ceramics

by Carole Epp | Jun 1, 2017 | call for entry

Open to Cups & Mugs

2017 Juror: Dick Lehman

 Juror, Dick Lehman will be looking for exceptional cups and mugs exploiting the full spectrum of copper’s color potential. Reduced reds, oxidized greens, crystals, purples, copper decals, lusters, and washes. This is an opportunity for potters to geek out on materials and glazes, while showing collectors the myriad of color of just ONE of the materials we use daily. We will be printing a full color catalog and the entire exhibition will be available for sale online.

The Exhibition will be held at Companion Gallery 3638 East Mitchell Street, Humboldt, TN, as well as ONLINE at companiongallery.com.

A FULL COLOR print catalog will accompany the exhibition.

Participating artists will receive a complimentary print copy.
