Current EventPottery Show and Sale - March 18 through April 17
Six local potters are showing their wares at Full Circle Arts gallery. These include Virginia Hurley and Chad Soden who both specialize in the dramatic process of Raku firing, where an extremely hot pot is quickly taken from the kiln and placed in a container of organic materials. Varian Swieter concentrates on functional pieces that are practical and beautiful. She is known for her “Get A Grip StonewareTM” (tumblers with divots to accommodate fingers and reduce slipping) along with other pieces made of high-fire stoneware and food-safe glazes. Much of Kelli Webber’s work features slab techniques with impressed designs, wall-hanging flower holders and “Christmas Village” buildings. Kelli is new to the area and brings a fresh vision of pottery. Debra and Dale Zimmerman work side-by-side in their studio outside Hickory, creating fun and useful items of all sorts. Just a few examples of the pottery:
