New work of SOFA West in Santa Fe

SOFA West opens in Santa Fe July 7! I will have new work there with Sherrie Gallerie, and here are three pieces Sherrie will have available. These are representative of the dozen small works of mine Sherrie is showing. Two larger pieces that are for the wall will also be shown.

This monkey teapot is a "Janus" piece with a monkey with a different expression on the other side.

Fulbright Award!

I received notice a few days ago that I have been awarded a Fulbright to Ireland for 2011. I will be at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin from January through March. I will teach a small group of graduate students and create a body of work.

Hungary

I will be returning to the International Ceramics Studio (ICS) in Kecskemet, Hungary this June. I have organized a small studio symposium of collegial friends who will work together for 2 weeks. Joining me will be Anna Holcombe, Elaine Henry, James Lawton, JoAnn Schnable, Marc Leuthold, Susan Filley, Steve Howell, Michel Conroy and Billy Mayer.

new teapot

Here is a teapot I made on commission just before Christmas. It is 16" long, c/5 oxidation stoneware, all handbuilt except for the "filler pot" on the rump. Pours nicely. I have been making small works since the Fall. I will be showing at Art of the Pot in Austin, Texas in May, so most of this work will be there.

I am showing some new works at Santa Fe Clay. They are sculptural animal cups. SFC will hold an opening reception Friday December 11, 2009. These pieces are entirely hand built mostly from slabs( No wheel work) and they are cone five stoneware oxidation fired. They are ca. 6 inches tall. Contact Santa Fe Clay: 505-984-1122 or sfc@santafeclay.com

I'll be a visiting artist at Anderson Ranch Art Center ( http://www.andersonranch.org/workshops/index.php?page=workshops-overview ) in Snowmass, CO January 15-18, 2010 during the January Studio Intensive. Over the course of the intensive period, two to three visiting artists will be available for studio visits. These artists, who are well known and respected in their fields, add a valuable element of critical insight into an individual's work.

Artists Joe Bova, Hung Liu and Rebeca Mendez will conduct studio visits during the 2010 intensive. Previous visiting artists/critics include Judy Pfaff, Stephan Westfall, Polly Apfelbaum, Brian Toll, Mala Iqbal and Sanford Biggers.
