New Mexico Potters & Clay Artists
Conversations in Clay
This year’s NMPCA show has a multidimensional theme, Conversations in Clay,
encouraging members to participate in different ways, including working
with another artist, NMPCA or non member. Individual pottery or ceramic
art pieces can be submitted with a one-sentence “conversation starter”
description. Another option is collaboration between two artists as one
piece created together or two pieces comprising one conversation. The
selected works will be exhibited at the Fuller Lodge Art Center.

Chandra will share her surface decoration techniques, which include
sprigging, stamping, freehand drawing, underglaze inlay, sgraffito, and
the use of wax resist to create a layered and colorful surface.
Kathy King will
demostrate how to center on building a personal vocabulary of imagery
while considering methods of composition of that imagery onto the
wheel-thrown and hand built ceramic form. With humor as a tool to
create narratives within her work, King will introduce some
non-traditional ideas about function and methods of storytelling. She
will carve through slip-colored clay (sgraffito) and will showcase other
methods on leather-hard clay with transfer techniques such as decals,
silk-screening, resist printing from a photocopy and block-printing
images onto clay. In addition, glaze techniques that will enhance
surface work will be demonstrated.
