Recently there has been a pottery image posting challenge going around on Facebook. It has been fun seeing everybodies images during January. It is a great way to put a portfolio together. Some potters reached back into their archives and others posted recent work. The images that I posted were mostly from the past two years with a grouping of images from the exhibition titled "By Example", that took place during the summer of 2012 at the Green Hill Art Center. The "By Example" exhibition was curated by Ronan Peterson, a potter from in Chapel Hill.
We have been delving into glaze testing in the studio, as well as performing and thinking about some organizational projects. Also we are working on the upcoming
North Carolina Potters Conference, on March 5-8, 2015 in Asheboro, NC. Thursday, March 5th is an additional bonus day that will take place at
STARworks in Star, NC. The North Carolina Potters Conference is in its 28th year and is an annual weekend potters conference hosted by the Randolph Arts Guild. We have been chairs of the planning committee for the past three-four years. The North Carolina Potters Conference was founded by Dwight Holland, a pottery collector, potter, zoo habitat designer, and art teacher. For this year, Dwight has selected an excellent line up of potters and presenters from Japan and Sandy Simon from California. We are super excited and it will definitely be a weekend to remember.
Here are the images from my Facebook 3x5 image challenge from Holly Kay, a potter living in Randleman.

Beautiful work. Love all of them really, but my special favourites are the 3 square glaze paintings and also your use of little dots as decoration, especially the covered jar. Wish we weren't half a world away, the NC Potters Conference would be a great event!
