Clay College: The Clay Studio Associates Show

Clay College, in Millville, NJ, is where I have spent a lot of my time the last couple of years.  A fabulous resource for all things clay, it is run by CC's ceramic guru, nay, goddess, Jacqueline Sandro.

There is a sweet little exhibit is going on there at the moment, tucked into CC's brick-walled front gallery.  (CC is charmingly housed in part of an old Woolworth's store in Millville.) The artists are associates from Philadelphia's The Clay Studio.

Here are a few of my faves:

Larry Spitz
"New Growth"
Porcelain, Stainless Steel


Andrew Eastwood
"Dress"
Stoneware

Shannon Donovan
"100 Ws"
Earthenware, Glaze

"100 Ws" Detail

Kathryn Narrow
"Peach Pots"
Porcelain, Glaze


Also at the College was a fabulous demo by ceramic artist, Kathryn Narrow (whose gorgeous pots are above.)  She was wonderfully knowledgeable, approachable, and personable - all the best sorts of "-able".  She might have even gotten me over my fear of that finicky porcelain.

On my way out the door, (sniff - I miss Clay College -) I took this last photo.  For those of you who know me, my house is home to three avid skateboarders: two sons and a husband.  They are as obsessed with skating as I am with ceramics.  As you can imagine, there is NO overlap of these two worlds, so the below photo is a happy crack in the space-time continuum.
