Treasures of Chinese Porcelain (2011)
In
November 2010, a Chinese vase unearthed in a suburban semi in Pinner
sold at auction for £43 million – a new record for a Chinese work of
art. Why are Chinese vases so famous and so expensive? The answer lies
in the European obsession with Chinese porcelain that began in the 16th
century.

I was raised on a farm in Southern Ohio where I spent my time reading
books, playing in the woods and creating things to amuse myself. I
have always known that I needed to make art, so after high school, I
attended a variety of colleges, all majoring in fine arts, as well as
spending time at Haystack Mountain School of Art. My love of making
things led me to try my hand at a wide variety of mediums before I
finally fell in love with clay.
When my husband Scott and I married in 1997, we decided we wanted to
experience living in different areas of the country, so we moved first
to Northwest Indiana, then to Maine, then to Massachusetts, and, due to
family needs, finally back to Ashland, Kentucky, which is near the homes
of both of our parents. With hard work and time, we transformed our
basement into a functional and inspiring ceramics studio where I now
spend my days creating beautiful pottery and ceramic art.

Want to be featured as an emerging artist on musing? All you have to do is send me some images, a brief write up if you’d like, and a website if you have it to [email protected] If you could put emerging artist in the subject header of the email so it doesn’t get lost in my spam folder that would be great. Thanks!

Pottery
is an integral part of human existence around the world. As long as
2,000 years ago pots were being made in Alberta. The province’s current
clay scene features a rich array of classic, innovative and
experimental work by studio potters. This exhibition is looking to
highlight Alberta ceramic artists who create tableware or ceramic pieces
related to cooking, dining and celebration. Help us set the table with
your place settings, serving trays, salad bowls, drinking sets, baking/cooking pieces and more!

Thanks Elise for sharing your work and website with us. Below is a bit that she wrote me regarding her business. I love the idea of a pottery class as opposed to a paint your own pottery approach!
A little background: my business is geared toward experiential tourism –
living in a tourist town, I teach 2-hour ‘Make Your Own Pottery’
classes (as opposed to ‘paint-your-own.”) My Facebook page is mostly
about student work – all the photos are of pottery done in those 2
hours, or a special ongoing kids class.
My webpage has images of my pots and info about my classes. There are
links to info for my community college students, too, on history of
clay, etc.

This exhibition features ceramic works that reveal the progression of
Athens artist Michael Simon’s work over the course of his career. The
objects are Simon’s “pick of the kiln”: the pieces he chose to keep
after every kiln firing. Simon began selecting these items later in his
career after sending previous work to exhibitions, shops and fairs for
almost a decade without keeping any. He chose one object from each
firing to track how his work developed over time. The exhibition
features dozens of objects, some that simply appealed to Simon and
others because they represent a desired form. Simon’s body of work
features mostly functional objects. His interest in pottery originates
from the role that pots play within the household, serving a utilitarian
purpose such as food preparation, serving and storage.
