Our annual trip to Kansas City couldn't have come at a better time than this past weekend. There were a number of openings (at least 5 ceramics shows) this past week, and it seemed like people were in town from everywhere. Leslie Ferrin, Jun Kaneko, Beth Cavener, Steve Lee, Dan Anderson and many others were spotted around town and at the openings. It felt like a mini-NCECA, and confirmed once again just how great of a clay city KC really is.
The primary purpose of our trip was to visit the amazing studio shared by Meredith Host, Rain Harris and Paul Donnelly. They occupy a 9000 sqaure foot space beneath the Crane Yard Clay store and warehouse. It's an unbelievably immense space, and these three keep it humming with activity. Paul and Rain were also gracious enough to give us a gallery talk to accompany their shared exhibition at the Belger Center. It was a great couple of days. Here are just a few images of our trip to KC.
Those of us who had the opportunity to poke our heads around KCAI's ceramics studio this past weekend caught a rare glimpse into this stellar undergraduate ceramics program (which Jeannie is a product of). For those of you who couldn't make the trip, I though I would post a link their most recent exhibition of student work. The work is fantastic, and definitely worth keeping an eye on! Follow the link below for more images. This post is for you, UARK BFA students! !!
Why has no one told me that Onyx opened up a location in Fayetteville? I'm going. Right now.
CFile has launched! As expected, it looks fantastic.
If you are looking for ceramic exhibitions, here's one for you... There's a pretty painful and limiting size restriction, so this one seems geared towards the potters out there!

Central Time Zone states include: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Texas; however not all counties within these states are within the Central Time Zone.

All forms of ceramic expression are encouraged.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Arkansas-based artist, Linda Lopez, in her New York City debut. Lopez’s seemingly arbitrary commingling of materials and forms further develops her desire to suggest the alternative existence of objects. In this work, Lopez’s sculptures animate the inanimate by combining an object with its otherness.
Until November 21.

If you're looking for a little extracurricular ceramics goodness, Bobby Silverman has put together a series of lectures that can be accessed online (for a reasonable fee). The list of speakers looks fantastic, and you can watch the lectures live as they happen over the course of the next year. You can either pay to see individual lectures, or subscribe to the whole series.
Check it out and let Jeannie or Mathew know if you like it and need more.
First-year ceramics grad and director of the student-led sUgAR gallery, Aimee Odum, speaks about the gallery's move to downtown Fayetteville.

Linda and I are looking forward to a few days in Athens, Ohio as visiting artists. We'll be giving lectures, critiquing students, and even doing a bit of demoing! The lectures are on Halloween at 6PM in Mitchell Auditorium. Demos are on Saturday from 10-2 in the ceramics studio. See you there.
