Due to the health concerns related to the current pandemic, this workshop has been canceled. Plans are to have the events for Perspectives, in its entirety, including this workshop and related exhibits to be held in August 2021. Stay tuned for updates about interim events in smaller groups.

See the work of 50 GA Potters in this annual event that includes Exhibitions, a gigantic pottery sale, gallery talks, demonstrations, and workshops.

In this 11th year of participating in this event, I am honored to showcase all new work in a solo show in the Members’ Gallery. Works will include many of your favorites of my functional work in addition to my newest body of work - Quilts in Clay.

This exploration of memory and craft developed from my early love of pattern, craft and fabrics introduced to me by my mother. She gave me a love for pattern, color and fine craft, teaching me to needlepoint and quilt. Inspired by the Cathedral Window quilt pattern which was a favorite of hers, the porcelain squares are textured and delicately folded to “quilt” the clay.  Working with the fragile porcelain squares woven with wire, suspended in a frame, or mounted on a slab brings a reminder that memories can be fragile and elusive but durable representations can be treasured.
