Originally
scheduled for March 12. Gerry Williams is
an internationally
recognized master craftsman, teacher, lecturer
and author. In 1950, Williams moved to New
Hampshire to study in the craft program offered
by the League of NH Craftsmen. He established
an independent studio a few years later in
Dunbarton, NH, where he resides today. He
works in stoneware and porcelain, wheel-thrown
and slab-built, gas-fired and wood-fired.
His subject matter ranges from the formal
qualities of shape, form, and color to satirical
social commentaries, and his work incorporates
many innovations, including unusually vibrant
glazing as well as wet-fire and photo-resist
techniques. He co-founded both the non-profit
organization and journal Studio Potter. In
1998, he was appointed New
Hampshire's first Artist Laureate. Most recently
he has been in China
exhibiting his work and lecturing. |

As a juried craftsperson, he has been producing

April

|
| Vermont
potter Robert Compton creates unique original
designed pottery made by hand throwing forms
that are then fired in a variety of methods
including wood and raku. The range of Robert’s
work has evolved over the past 33 years and
his current work, inspired by ancient Jomon
pottery, emphasizes the quality of a pot’s
surface which, in his opinion, is best achieved
using methods such as wood firing and salt
glazing. For over a decade Robert and his
wife Christine have given summer workshops
at their pottery, formerly a farm, in the
rural mountain valley of Bristol, Vermont.
Robert Compton is shown in the images above. |
