A Few Select Pieces from the Pottery Kiln

Bruce Gholson Fossil Fish Bowl, Bulldog Pottery, Seagrove, North Carolina

Our "One More Hurrah" Holiday Kiln Opening is tomorrow, December 12, 2015. 

Bruce is outside as I write this post polishing new crystalline vases that we just pulled from the kiln this morning, and we are hoping for a few more pottery pieces tomorrow.  We know we filled the kiln last night, but there is always the unknown of how the work turns out until we open the kiln and see.  Bruce has three fossil fish bowls for tomorrow and I have 6 new glazing paintings.  I am looking forward to designing more this winter.  

There is a large handful of Seagrove Potters having special holiday openings tomorrow. Below is the list of potters.

Objective Clay Holiday Exhibition

Elephant Cup, made by Samantha Henneke, Bulldog Pottery, Seagrove, North Carolina

  Objective Clay invited us to participate in their first holiday online exhibition.  We have three pottery pieces each that we chose to be a part of this show.

Objective Clay is made up of 14 potters who were the demonstrators at the Utilitarian Clay Conference of 2012.  We were lucky to be able to attend the conference at Arrowmont in Gatlinbug, TN.  We met many potters there, and were impressed by the caliber of the presenters.  Blair Clemo, now a teacher at VCU, is an honored cousin from Cousins in Clay 2013 (along with Dan Anderson). Every member of Objective Clay invited someone to be apart of the exhibition and Blair invited us. Thank you Blair!  Blair makes really exciting pots, and has a great way of demonstrating the techniques he has developed.  Blair made a Ceramics Arts Daily video you can purchase, called "Simply Oranate".   We selected six pieces from our recent reduction gas firing. Bruce chose a pitcher, cup and mug with new ash and spodumene glazes, and I  chose an elephant cup and plate, and one of our matte crystalline glazed vases.
The Ultilitarain Conference is every 4 years and is hosted by Arrowmont. They have announced next years line-up. We hope we will be able to go.

The Objective Clay online exhibition goes live on November 20th. You can find out the details at their the Objective Clay website.

We are looking forward to this weekend--November 20-22, 2015! 

The Celebration of Seagrove Potters will be in full swing. We are always thrilled and amazed at all the pots our rural community can produce.  There is a lot of talent here,  and visiting the Seagrove Potters this weekend is a great time to touch base with the majority of us in one location. It only happens once a year, for the rest of the time we have pottery shops open to the public with hours that are individual to each shop. The most common hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10-5 with some of us open on Sunday and Monday.

We will be open at our Bulldog Pottery shop as well as being at the Celebration of Seagrove Potters.

Pottery on the Hill: October 30-November 1, 2015

Press Release is from the Hill Center's Website……

You know your farmer. Now meet your potter.

Pottery on the Hill welcomes 16 of the nation’s top ceramic artists

“Farm to table” refers not only to the fresh, local produce you buy from the farmer himself. It’s also about bringing food to the table looking its best. That means it’s time to talk to a potter.

The annual Pottery on the Hill show and sale at Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital on October 30-November 1, is a chance to meet and talk with 16 prominent potters from across the country about their work.

“Pots for use is definitely the theme of this show,” says Dan Finnegan, the show curator. “Most of us share this passion for making pots for people’s homes.”

The pieces chosen for Pottery on the Hill show a variety of styles, influences and techniques. Some are whimsical while others are refined. Most are wheel thrown but have hand-built elements. These potters use bright colors as well as more subdued tones.

Artists featured in Pottery on the Hill include: Bob Briscoe (Harris, MN), Trista Depp Chapman (Fredericksburg, VA), Dan Finnegan (Fredericksburg, VA), Warren Frederick (Warrenton, VA), Bruce Gholson (Seagrove, NC), Samantha Henneke (Seagrove, NC), Matthew Hyleck (Baltimore, MD), Michael Kline (Bakersville, NC), Suze Lindsay (Bakersville, NC), Kent McLaughlin (Bakersville, NC), Matthew Metz (Alfred Station, NY), Donna Polseno (Floyd, VA), Mark Shapiro (Worthington, MA), Gertrude Graham Smith (Penland, NC), Sam Taylor (Westhampton, MA) and Catherine White (Warrenton, VA).

Pottery on the Hill features a ticketed preview reception on the evening of October 30 at 6:30 p.m. This reception offers the first opportunity to meet the potters, learn their inspiration and purchase pieces. The first 100 guests will receive a beer sampler crafted by a potter. Tickets are available online.

The show and sale, which is free and open to the public, takes place on October 31 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and November 1 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Additionally, a Pottery Slam, where potters challenge each other, take challenges from the audience, and work together on pottery wheels to make pieces, will take place at the Art League Annex in Alexandria on Thursday, October 29 from 6:30-9 p.m. Potters Dan Finnegan, Mark Shapiro and Sam Taylor will be joined by Blair Meerfield of the Torpedo Factory.

So when you next buy sunflowers picked that morning in a farmer’s field, have a ceramic vase that displays them as they deserve.

Bruce and Samantha at the Potters Market Invitational 2015

A selection of Bulldog Pottery-Gholson & Henneke at the Potters Market Invitational, Mint Museum Randolph, Charlotte, NC

It has been around 2 weeks since the Potters Market Invitational in Charlotte, NC and we are still thinking about what a great time we had on Saturday at the Mint Museum Randolph. The weather was just right, and there were many excited pottery collectors that came for this exhibition.  The Delhom Service League once again put on a great event. They are wonderful hosts that made sure all the potters stayed hydrated throughout the day. It is always a treat for us to talk with the folks that love pottery as much as we do, and to also meet new people that are beginning to catch the bug of wanting to buy handmade pottery for their home.

Our pottery booth this year was located at the entrance of the white tent.  All of the potters are located under one tent which gives the outdoor show a good cohesive feel for the potters and the collectors. Our neighbor at the show this year was Donna Craven who is also a neighbor potter in our Seagrove Pottery community.  The Potters Market was described by one of the organizers as a sort of home-coming for the potters because we all are excited to see one another and what each other is making. Sometimes this is the one time of the year for us to catch up with many of these other potters.  

The Delhom Service League hosts this pottery event, and the money raised goes to enlarge the exciting Delhom Pottery Collection. They will soon rearrange the exhibit space for their collection of British Ceramics. Brian Gallagher is the Curator of the Decorative Arts, and has recently published a catalog of this British Ceramics Collection that will soon be available for purchase.  

We are now getting ready for the upcoming invitational pottery show at the Washington DC's Hill Center in the Old Naval Hospital on October 30-November 1, 2015.  Also this Friday evening we will be giving a talk in Raleigh for the North Carolina Pottery Collector's Guild.  On the way to the presentation we will be dropping off some of Samantha's works to the Frank Gallery in Chapel Hill for the "Women in Clay" show.  It is a busy time for us here in Seagrove at Bulldog Pottery.

Our talk has been postponed to December 4, 2015 because of Hurricane Joaquin.

Admission: $10

We are members of the Mint Museum located in Charlotte, NC, and the reason why is the Delhom Service League.  Back in the early 2000's we bumped into an article somewhere on the web about a group at the Mint Museum that talk about pots. We thought, "How cool is that!" We wrote down on our list of to-dos to find out about the classes.  A few months later pottery collectors, Leo and Elizabeth Kohn-a husband and wife collector team, visited us in our Bulldog Pottery shop and told us more about the Delhom Service League. The Kohns very warmly invited us to attend one of the League's classes, where we were very graciously received by the organization.

The Delhom Service League schedules monthly presentations at the Mint Museum Randolph by a ceramic scholar, as well as, organized classes by the group's members to teach docents and museum members about the Mint Museum's extensive ceramics collection. The Mint Museum has a wonderful collection of pottery named after the contributor Miss M. Mellanay Delhom.

The League was organized in 1972 following the arrival of Miss M. Mellanay Delhom and her outstanding ceramics collection of historical pottery and porcelain. The mission of the Delhom Service League is to create and develop interest in ceramics by studying the world of potters and their cultures, from ancient China to contemporary America.

Check out this year's Delhom presentations at the Mint Museum's website. We have been to a handful of them over the years, and wish we could attend more. We always look forward to making the trip to visit the Mint Museum in Charlotte to see their superb ceramics collection.

Cousins in Clay in the Mountains of NC

We are looking forward to the 5th annual "Cousins in Clay" Mountains! Every year, we, along with Michael Kline, host two "Cousins in Clay" events. One at the beginning of the summer (weekend after Memorial Day) at our Bulldog Pottery studios in Seagrove, NC and one at the end of the summer at Michael Kline's Pottery in Bakersville, NC. This year the Mountain Clay Cousins will be on Labor Day Weekend, September 5-6, 2015.  

Two artists we admire, Justin and Brooke Rothshank, will be our guest cousins at the Labor Day weekend show and sale.  Justin makes pottery with layered surfaces of decals and glazes that integrate well together on his functional pottery forms, and Brooke paints miniature images that are amazing in detail.

We set up our pottery under white tents on the hill top of Michael's and Stacey''s property under beautiful oak trees very near his workshop and sales gallery.  This year his wife Stacey Lane, a jeweler, will have her work for sale in Michael's gallery along with Brooke Rothshank's paintings. Michael is a short drive (around 10 minutes) from the famous Penland Craft school.  It is always a treat to take our work to the NC Mountains!

We are also busily getting ready for the 11th Annual Potters Market Invitational at the Mint Museum Randolph, September 12th, in Charlotte, NC!  This is a wonderful event that we are proud to be invited to participate in along with 40 other potters.  Stay tuned for the next blog post to read more specifics about the Mint Museum's PMI.

Early Morning Rise

Photographers praise early morning light and evening light…. sunrise and sunset.

This past Saturday morning I woke up early before the sunrise to weed a patch in the garden. We want to plant a few late summer crops. It has been a hot summer and I thought this would help me to beat the heat.  This also happened to be my first opportunity to photograph the garden during a sunrise.  There are few insects out in the garden in the early morning, some bumblebees. I did see for the first time a dusty iridescent blue insect fly by way too fast to photograph.

It was an amazing experience for me, and I finally had my turn to get a glimpse of what photographers love about this time of day. The ethereal beauty and glowing colors inspire me to wake up early again before the sun wakes up our part of the world.

Henry Crissman 

Henry Crissman recently graduated with his MFA from Alfred University in Alfred, New York. We met Henry last summer while we attended Alfred's Summer School for 2 weeks.  We talked with him about bringing his traveling Mobile Anagama Wood-Fired Kiln to "Cousins in Clay" and he said yes, We are super excited to have Henry here for the weekend.  The pieces below were glazed with one of his puddle glazes. Alfred's landscape is famous for its shale clay and Henry thought "Hey I can glaze my pieces with the puddles around the university." And so it began... Henry tested many puddles on campus and came up with some unique puddle glazed surfaces [Bruce's favorite is Puddle #5 with the grit left in].  Visit Henry's website to see Henry's recent projects, also here is a you-tube video of his Mobile Anagama Company MFA thesis show.

We Spent a wonderful afternoon together talking about life and clay. Michael has been working on new inlay decoration. We are super excited to see the pieces in person! Michael's blog Sawdust and Dirt is always a favorite of ours to read.

Samantha Henneke

Samantha Henneke has been working on pieces glazed similar to the mug below. We call it our Moka glaze pottery because of the hues similar to coffee, chocolate, cream, and the brindled color pattern of our past dog Moka. Samantha has been enjoying this spring/summer weather and is excited to be taking her camera out to capture the life in the undergrowth.

Bruce Gholson, Bulldog Pottery, Seagrove, North Carolina

The AKAR Yunomi Invitational show opens this Friday, May 15th at 10:00am Central. 

It is that time of year again. We participate annually in AKAR Design's Yunomi invitational show and sale of over 1,030 Yunomi, 5 Yunomi's each from 206 artists.  This show is a potters and collector's delight of all kinds of imaginative functional cups to drink from, and to have on display in your home.

Cups are the potter's form that puts Art into your hands, You can touch it, feel it, look at it, and drink from it.

For the seventh consecutive year, artists have elected to donate portions of their sales to The Studio Potter Magazine, a non-profit organization dedicated to all things clay. Of the 206 participating artists, 139 individuals are donating cups for a total of 245 yunomi sales benefiting this worthy periodical!

If you are new to this event, you should be aware that the sales are online only, and one should register ahead of time at AKAR because 60% of the exhibition sells out within the first hour.

Yunomi (U-know-me)- A form of teacup, typically made of ceramic material, being taller than wide, with a trimmed or turned foot. Unlike the more formal chawan tea bowl which is used during the Japanese tea ceremony, the Yunomi tea bowl is made for daily (or informal) tea drinking.

Daffie Days and the Celebration of Spring Seagrove Potters Kiln Openings On Same Weekend

Bulldog Pottery:Gholson and Henneke - Spring Kiln Opening, Seagrove, North Carolina 

Lots of Celebrating going on! 

We are preparing for our Spring Kiln Opening "Daffie Days"- Celebrating the Vase and the Ubiquitous Daffodil. This year we moved the date a little further into the month of April. This year we will have our annual spring kiln opening on the same weekend as the "Celebration of Spring, Seagrove Potters Spring Kiln Openings". This year around 40 Seagrove Potteries will be participating.

We had a fabulous North Carolina Potters Conference in Asheboro, NC.  The Randolph Arts Guild did a bang up job of putting it on, hosting potters from Japan and 175 conference attendees! We learned many techniques during the four days of conference, and it included a Japanese Tea Ceremony by Peter Hamann.  We would love to share some images with you from the Conference in a future post. 

We are also busy planning for this year's 7th annual "Cousins in Clay" on May 30-31, 2015.  Make plans and save the date! We will be hosting wonderful potters this year, Bill Brouillard from Cleveland, Ohio, Adam Field from Helena, Montana, Doug Peltzman from New Paltz, New York, Henry Crissman from Alfred, New York, and Micheal Kline from Bakersville, North Carolina.  You can follow along on our "Cousins in Clay" Facebook page.

"Celebration of Spring, Seagrove Potters Spring Kiln Openings", Seagrove, North Carolina

On April 18-19, 2015 - the Seagrove Area Potters Association hosts the Celebration of Spring Seagrove Potters Kiln Openings.

This is a great opportunity for the visitors to see where we live and make our work. We are open to the public throughout the year, with a few potters only open for their individual kiln openings. You can find out more information at our Discover Seagrove Pottery website.

A  quote from Katie Pegram in the April 2014 "Our State" wrote "Talking about North Carolina pottery without mentioning Seagrove is like talking about Carolina cuisine without mentioning barbecue-it just isn't done"
