One of my soda-fired functional vessels (Stripe Cup, 2022) will be exhibited in the Ceramic League of Miami’s 73rd Annual Members’ Exhibition. The show runs until March 3 at Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas
The exhibition was juried by potter Tom Coleman, who will be giving an artist talk as part of the opening tomorrow night, Friday, February 17, at 7 pm. Coleman’s work is included in the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery, which focuses on craft and decorative art.
Potter Tom Coleman was trained as a ceramist at the Northwest College of Art and Reed College. He throws pots that are both functional and expressive, and his training in the Japanese tradition has led him to focus on beauty, symmetry, and balance of form. In 1983, Coleman began working with Frank Boyden, throwing the pots that Boyden would then decorate with his incised drawings. After three years of collaborative work at the anagama kiln in Oregon, Coleman moved to Nevada where he continues to work, using the dry desert landscape as the inspiration for his forms and glazes.
