Source • Material: An Exhibition on Water and the Ceramic Cup-Curated by Lindsay Rogers
![]() |
Josh Stover |
Lindsay Roger's inspiration for the exhibition was water. According to Lindsay "Water is everywhere. As abundant as an ocean and as delicate as a drop, water is the source of all life. This eternally human need consistently shifts the way we build our tools, our cultures and our lives. Historically speaking, water has become a dictator of form, an aesthetic inspiration, a human habit and an honest informer of the ecological state of our world. In this exhibit, contemporary ceramic artists will address the theme of water through the form of the ceramic cup."
Artists to include:

Julia Galloway |
The exhibition will open on November 1 and remain through December 31. Please join us for an artist reception Saturday, November 3 at 6pm. The exhibition can be seen and purchased online beginning November 1 at 12:00am. For more information call 828-688-3599 or online at www.crimsonlaurelgallery.com
Working
Yo, haven't been posting on pottery lately since I have been working on the house. Seemed better to do it myself (with Cheryl's help) rather than pay someone $3,000. And the weather has been cooperating beautifully!
So another two days of this and then back to pottery.
If anyone has any shows to advertise??

Clay Clubbers on stage in "8" the Play
John Britt in a suit and tie, giving a great performance as lawyer Charles Cooper (opposing lawyers David Boies and Ted Olson) in the "8" the Play staged reading in Bakersville on Saturday night. More photos from the performance here. And Equality NC has a nice post on the significance of performing this play about the Prop 8 marriage equality trial in tiny, rural Bakersville here.
Thanks to John and fellow potters Pat Benard and Ken Sedberry who also acted in it, and to everyone who made this evening such a great success.

Chimney rebuild
Promised this to Will.
Here is a rebuild for my venturi kiln chimney when I got Bailey Power Burners.
I had too high of a chimney for forced air and it was sucking out all the heat and making the kiln uneven so I had to add reduce the size of the chimney and the height...but needed it still needed to go through the roof. I didn't couldn't add a metal vent because of space and cost....So I added some hard brick soaps on the corners (to shield the meal)and 2 lentils of hard bricks and then restacked the rest through the roof.
It acts like a large passive damper.
