Low-fire terracotta with gold luster
"I am attached to terracotta and low-fired technologies as symbols of my heritage. I like to imagine a potter ancestor in Luxembourg or Wiltshire pouring slip on his earthenware platter, decorating it with the details of some local or family event, sprinkling on lead oxide, then firing it in the most simple manner. My ancestor and I are alike in our interest in enlivening the daily aspects of life: mundane routines and community celebrations. Like him, I hope the plates, platters, bowls and other service pieces I make enhance those routines and rituals and that they add a touch of grace to the domestic arena." - Gale Kendall

"Jeff Oestreich was trained in the austere simplicity of traditional Asian pottery while serving as apprentice to Bernard Leach in England in the 1960s.
Driven to achieve a personal style, he overlaid this foundation with a passion for Art Deco design and a ceaseless exploration of glaze and decoration techniques.
A highly regarded studio potter, Oestreich has exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, his work can be found in the outstanding collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Incheon World Ceramic Center, the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art among others. Every year Oestreich and other artists open their studios for the annual pottery tour in the St. Croix Valley." - Craft In America

"Byron Temple is internationally recognized for his unpretentious ceramic works. He had been an apprentice of English potter Bernard Leach, and this clearly influenced his concept and philosophy of ceramics. He liked to define himself as a production potter. He used basic designs which he dominated to perfection. This permitted him to explore intensely the fundamental qualities of the form and its expression. He described his work as "sleek and slim" with "simple lines" and "marks left exposed," he considered this to be "a combination of Bauhaus and Japan." Temple influenced generations of potters with classes and workshops at schools ranging from Pennland and Haystack to the Pratt Institute and Philadelphia College of Art. He has worked all over the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and Japan.
Temple's production reached as many as 10,000 pieces a year. His pottery is unmistakably handcrafted, bearing the marks of the artists touch or the cutting wire where the pot has been removed from the wheel. He often tied lids to the bases of pots with a cord of silk or linen, giving them the quality of a ritual object." - Michener Art Museum

"This series started out as fairly crude etchings on stoneware clay. As the years went by the carving became more complicated and refined, often teaching me the wisdom of the adage "less is more." The medallion bowl in this group is similar in design to the piece in the Smithsonian collection. These pieces were made circa 1980-90. These are thrown earthenware, etched and carved, stone burnished, and smoked in exotic hardwood sawdust." - Nancee Meeker
Nancee Meeker's extraordinary work is in many major museums and collections, including: The Smithsonian, Crocker Art Museum, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, The Fuller Craft Museum, and public / private collections around the world.

"I am interested in pottery that make connections to the human figure. The figurative analogies used to describe pots throughout history all in some way invite touch. The pots that I respond to all speak of a clear, direct sense of the hand. The hand is celebrated in the work by its maker, whether it is that of a fifteenth century rural potter or a nineteenth century court artisan. And it becomes a necessary tool for the user in understanding the relationship of the object to its function, and subsequently, to how that object informs ones life.
Though most of my work only alludes to function, I use the pot context because of its immense possibilities for abstraction. The skin of the clay holds the invisible interior of the vessel. How I manipulate my forms "around" that air, constraining it, enclosing it, or letting it expand and swell, can allow analogy and metaphor to enter into the work."

Mary Roehm is known for paper-thin wheel-thrown or cast porcelain vessels.
She explores the possibilities for manipulating her vessels, often twisting, tearing the edges, and creating less than round rims. The pieces are usually left unglazed so the effects of wood-firing can be most evident. Although she creates many domestic forms, she is most well known for her bowls, pouring, and conceptual sculptural vessels.

"The beauty and power of pot making is that it can elicit a range of intellectual and emotional responses. The medium is primal. Pots are abstract. Subtle nuances of form and surface and the interactivity of haptic experience offer endless means of expression. Pots are also intimate. In a post-digital society increasing divorced from human interaction, it seems pertinent to offer objects that elevate and sustain our core human needs."

An opportunity of a lifetime! Roberto Lugo opens the doors to his current studio for a 10 person tour of his creative space.
Roberto Lugo is a Philadelphia-based artist, ceramicist, social activist, poet, and educator. Lugo utilizes classical pottery forms in conjunction with portraiture and surface design reminiscent of his North Philadelphia upbringing and Hip Hop culture to highlight themes of poverty, inequality, and racial injustice. Lugo's works reimagine traditional European and Asian ceramics, adding a 21st-century street sensibility. Their hand-painted surfaces feature classic decorative patterns and motifs combined with elements of urban life, graffiti and portraits of individuals who have been historically absent from traditional luxury vessels, individuals such as Sojourner Truth, Dr. Cornel West, and The Notorious BIG, as well as Lugo's family members and, very often, himself.

"I often think of my art as timeless relics and ritual home furnishings. My training and early work was in textiles and painting, a fusion of art and craft. My current body of work integrates my lifelong interest in patterns. Pieces are stitched on PVC screening that include symbolism, irony, satire and cultural context. They are layered illustrations of my soul that include the past, the present and perhaps the future."

3-D printed shopping cart with 2.5 black onyx cabochon wheels.
My Cartrageous Sterling silver jewelry and accessories series is an outgrowth of the shopping cart furniture series I began in 2008. I am experimenting with form and playfully with movement. I enjoy taking one shape and considering what else I can do with it. Intended to be playful and fun the jewelry, like the furniture, is developed with a deeper intention. Those who purchase work from the Cartrageous series can find joy of giving twice - 15% of proceeds are donated to a local soup kitchen with each purchase. Because I believe giving doesn't have to be limited to a holiday or special event.
Art swirls through my blood via a long linage of acclaimed and beloved familial painters. Frequently surrounded by artists and their work my childhood was saturated with color and form and conversations about its meaning. So, in a way, art is my first language. While in the magic of the desert earning a Bachelor's of Art and immersed in formal training I dove into the joys and the techniques of printing, ceramics, sculpture and painting, graduating from the University of Arizona in Tucson. Ready for my next chapter I found I longed for my home state the ocean, and it seemed like fate to find the perfect studio on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, and so established "Art by any Means" in 1999.

This is a 14 by 19 inch Raku Leaf created by first growing the leaf and then rolling the mature leaf into a large slab of clay..forming the clay then firing it twice, the second firing in a Raku Kiln to bring out the alchemical reactions of copper oxides from blues to greens to reds. After reaching temperature it is pulled hot from the Raku kiln and immersed in sawdust to blacken the clay and further create exciting effects on the piece. // My work in clay has evolved over the years from mostly functional and wheel-thrown forms with the vessel as the predominant form to an increasing involvement with sculptural pieces emphasizing the human form and elements of nature like leaves and shells etc. This evolution has occurred in conjunction with my work as an Art Therapist and Psychotherapist as well as my long love of the natural world.I create my work with a variety of clays and processes. I work with stoneware, porcelain, Raku, and earthenware clays, and fire in many types of kilns. I find that the process of, and reactions of, the fire and chemicals and clay are Alchemical, which offers me infinite possibilities. This is creatively exciting and keeps me fired up!!

The Wildlife work is inspired by Nature's ingenious design constantly perfecting for each unique environment. Yet, as we stand at the edge of this ecological precipice, the environment is telling us in no uncertain terms it cannot survive without our mutual support. The convex ceramic plays on the idea of a shield, defined as a person or thing providing protection from harm. It also heralds the honor of and a sense of family like the countless species with which we share this planet. Like the focus of a lens, the shields reflect our powerful role and reciprocal responsibility.

From Easter Island- Rapanui: Incised for Chanting OutThe ancient Easter Island glyphs carved on tablets share a mystical language. As rareas the few remaining dozen incised wood planks, Rongorongo is one of a fewindependent languages in human history and is yet to be deciphered.
The unique system of characters are incised in shallow horizontal channels. The text is read from the bottom row, left to right. Each line is reversed so one must turn the tablet 180o to chant to the next line. Although the literal translation is unknown, the spirited nature of the "chants" infuse the sculptures. Inheriting the ancestral Rongorongo mobility, many of the sculptures invertfreely into various poses as they step from 2 to 3 dimension.
The mysterious carved organic tablets liken time capsules capturing a once diverse andabundant exchange between man and nature on this remote Pacific island. Thethriving Rapanui culture and its lush landscape fell to deforestation and devastationleaving a profound message and crucial restoration at work today.
The color of the pit-fired ceramic Rongorongos is 100% painted by the fumes and flameof their primitive outdoor firing, unpredictable and unique.

Coated silver wire weaves back and forth to complete a show-stopping one-of-a-kind statement piece with an easy and comfortable magnetic clasp. // I'm a one man-band and enjoy the creative process from concept to execution. I work with found, recycled and unexpected material to create a collection of necklaces, earrings and pins to be enjoyed by self-assured women comfortable with attention, open to adventure and who find joy in discovering new ways to present themselves.

Isaiah Zagar is an award-winning mosaic mural artist whose work can be found on more than 200 public walls throughout the city of Philadelphia and around the world. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Brooklyn, Zagar received his B.F.A. in Painting & Graphics at the Pratt Institute of Art in New York City. When he was 19 years old, Zagar discovered the art environment of Clarence Schmidt in Woodstock, New York. This shaped his ideas of what art could be and started a lifelong interest in art environments and their creators.
Isaiah Zagar's artwork is heavily influenced by his travels and the personal connections he has made with international folk and visionary artists. Isaiah and his wife Julia completed three years of Peace Corps service in Peru in the mid-1960s, working with folk artists in the Puno region near Lake Titicaca. Soon after, they settled in Philadelphia and began their life's work of creating public art and fostering creativity in all its varied forms.

John Glick is known for functional, thrown, stoneware vessels with painterly surfaces. His early work reflected his Cranbrook teacher, Maija Grotell, and is characterized by simple, undecorated stoneware dinner services and functional vessels.Glick founded Plum Tree Pottery in 1964. There he produced a range of functional vessels with sophisticated painterly decoration. The surface is drawn on and painted with slips and glazes, frequently with flower and vine motifs, sometimes built up to form relief or textured underglaze surfaces, always creating the illusion of depth.
Glick is considered one of the most important functional potters of his time, not only for his body of work but also as an influential teacher and mentor. Glick introduced, to American studio potters, innovative studio practices that have been widely adopted. He worked with studio assistants, initially having them throw the desired forms or assemble the slabs of hand-built forms to his specifications. Glick concentrated on all aspects of the decoration and finishing.
