Josh DeWeese Artist Talk at Radius Gallery

Leave a Comment / Josh DeWeese /

Josh DeWeese’s work exudes ceramic wonder: artfully designed, painstakingly crafted, and ultimately given over to the whims of the kiln. He is drawn to the beauty and mystery of high temperature ceramics, to the elements of chance that occur in the firing, to the subtle qualities of raw clays and the vibrant depths of transparent glazes. His pottery summons us to touch, melding art and utility, asserting the gravitas of raw earth into our curated spaces.

DeWeese is currently a Professor of Art teaching ceramics at Montana State University in Bozeman, where he and his wife Rosalie Wynkoop have a home and studio. He served as Resident Director of the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena for 17 years. He holds an MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred, and a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute. DeWeese has exhibited and taught workshops internationally and his work is included in numerous public and private collections

Mary Barringer – Pottery by Design

Leave a Comment / Mary Barringer /

Pottery by Design is part of a trio of exhibitions specifically crafted for DesignPhiladelphia 2014. The Clay Studio's design-focused exhibitions showcase both the depth and breadth of design in contemporary ceramics.

In a world where autoCAD and rapid prototyping tend to dominate, it is worth remembering that potters have been honing their design skills for over 10,000 years. For this exhibition, The Clay Studio will exhibit functional work by contemporary potters. Each potter will produce a brief video that explains a design decision (visual, functional or ergonomic) in their work that is based on a lifetime of experience with clay. –
