Other Views

A few more images of work from the Member's One Of show at the Dwayne Nuzum Memorial Gallery. Pieces that needed another view.


Pork's lush beauty


Bob and Pork


A top down look at "Triple Harmony", Kate.


That's Kate's "Triple Harmony" in front of
"Animal Vase" by Lois and in the back is Joy's "Tree Woman"


The inside of Sanna's bowl "Wild Ponies" has a starry night image.

WINTER 2008 SHOW

DWAYNE NUZUM
MEMORIAL GALLERY


At the Boulder Potter's Guild
Presents

A Members One of a Kind Show



Year of the Rooster
Marcia Usow

I want to ride this rooster. Perhaps on a Merry-Go-Round.


Tea Service
Cyndi Alaimo

I should have used a spot to light the tea pot and cup inside the tray.


Oddissy
Mary Lynn Schumacher

Less than an hour after publishing, this post is #21 on Google for Oddissy. I HAD to search and then go to dictionary. Mary Lynn "comment" on the meaning of Oddissy please.


Pork Lewis

I love this belly. I am in LOVE.


Todd Redmond

I'm not sure what Todd is doing here but I like it.


Tree Woman
Joy Boston

So serene but so powerful. I would expect something is being held in another dimension by those hands.


Pole Bird House
Bob Judson

Bob being Bob.


Walks Tall Woman
Danni Bangert


Big Men in the Big City
Dianne Hackett

They look so glum. Being in the city must be bad.


Home
Susan Allman


Hand Built Cylinders
Irene Stoller


Stacked Fish Jar
Cris Conklin

Juxtapose those little fish over the jar, and just what's in the jar?


Animal Vase
Lois Edgar


Ann Barnsley

Wonderful glaze crawl to great effect on this torpedo.


Sue Walsh

So stern, with a lid and something for a foot besides the glaze blush, and anyone would be scared of this pot. "Go to your room."


Sue Walsh

Such a brilliant glaze, you can see my reflection.


Green Woven Dish
Pam Lambert

You must click this photo to enlarge. I really like this work and it shows so much better in the larger format.


Kyle Roberts


Kyle Roberts

Texture, texture, texture. Even in the background. Only in a pottery show would you see kiln furniture used to prop up a piece.


Platter
Larkin Hosmer

This color is all wrong, but I like it and am keeping it posted.


Daryl Houghton


Barbara Curtis


Wild Ponies
Sanna Adams

The ponies go all around the bowl. They're wonderful, I think it would have taken me all day to paint those ponies, maybe longer.

Deanne Ketterman

So much life in this tea pot. I had to block the sun streaming in the front door, that makes the colors very intriguing to me.


Deanne Ketterman

Triple Harmony
Kate Vorhaus

Another one you need to enlarge. And one I should have taken and displayed more pictures of as this does not do justice.

Sculptural Items Fall 07

Mary Lynn Schumacher has used the timeless horse in a classic pose with interesting surface treatment.
The back birds continue to flock around Mary Lynn's work.
Mary Lynn is exploring surface and form with these tall vases.
Nancy Kuester continues her study of unglazed earthenware buildings.
Nancy's ducks, quail, chicks?
Amanda Taylor does a lot more than tea pots but that's all you'll see on this blog. Just too amazing and creative to add more.
A continuing display of tea pots by Amanda.
Taylor Tea Pot or a Snail?
Barb McDermid wants you to put this Rabbit in your garden. Barb also has lots of functional ware.
Christmas ornaments by Barbara.
Lions, Tigers, and Bears...No...but there are Dragons and Frogs in an imaginative display of artistry by Jennifer Quilling.
A nautical display includes sand by Jennifer.
Janet Nuzum continues her study of houses.
Houses, houses, little villages of houses.
Kyle Roberts can mystify you with the whimsy of the work.
Cat lovers couldn't possibly pass on this one by Kyle
Dianne Hackett has combined her well known mask forms into dramatic vessels.
A very successful mask by Dianne.
Large organic planters by Susan Gale Allmen
I love these large vessels so much I had to show more.

Relatively Speaking

Willi Eggerman's daughter Laura Bigger makes wonderful emulsion prints. Sorry this one is already in my collection, but there are many others. Wouldn't this look spectacular if it were a ceramic tile?
The One Handed Potter Christopher Donley can also draw.
Cindy Alaimo's little boy Chandler Jordan makes Magic Wands and Frog Flippers.
Shena Redmond, Todd's wife, has a fine selection of fabric shoulder bags.
Ann Barnsley's mother Carol Pierce makes these little Santa tree decorations from mussel shells from Mexico.

Lots of Functionl Pottery this Fall

Dale Rose continues her work in soft lush glazes.
Pam Robinson, though not a big producer, always pleases with active glazes.
Tammy Lynn shows her glaze techinque in this array of small vases. Tammy gets TOP HONORS for her candy selection.
The richness of this "butter with iron" glaze used by Tammy doesn't show like I wanted in this photo. Come to the sale and see for yourself. Did I mention Tammy has excellent taste in candies? Anybody that puts out White Rabbit candy is OK in my book.
This platter sold before I left the building. Larking Hosmer has more of these platters as you can see stacked here and in other racks in his display.
Typical work by plate master Larkin. Stacks and stacks of plates.
Dynamic glaze work by Linda Baird.
Who does purple and red better than Linda?
Prolific potter Sue Sprague displays a bright and exciting platter.
Sue has little fish saucers, got to show them.
Deanne Ketterman is the only guild potter currently showing Majolica. Deanne also works in stoneware.
Colorful and playful work by Deanne.
Sarah Kaspar-Houssney has produced a diverse selection of ceramic work showing attention to detail and color selection.
One of several Tea Pot and Cup sets by Sarah.
Lois Edgar uses natural images to boldly accent her ceramic as well as her paper work.
Deer / Antelope figures predominate much of the work in Lois' display.
Many handles for Lois' work are small porcelain animals in a brilliant celadon galze.
To fellow potters the cone pack might be the most beautiful piece by Shanti Gillis, deep rich celadon colors probably from a salt firing.
Shanti draws inspiration from the red clay to embody the organic of her work, I see the small dashes in the semi-circular spaces as drawn from Hopi rain images.
Multi=dimensional glaze work that's soft and lush from Shanti.
Anyone that follows or collects the work of Lydia Pellow will recognize this display.
A great close up of Lydia's work.
