keramos

MudFire Gallery welcomes "keramos" - a showing of new works by three long-time friends who have shared a love of clay for decades. Atlanta artists Margaret Patterson, Eloise Hally, and Bill Buckner bring us a collection of finely-crafted objects that are alternately whimsical and sublime, often eminently functional and sometimes tauntingly not. Beginning with an opening night celebration on Thursday July 15 from 6-10pm, the exhibit and sale continues through August 14, 2004.

Bill, Eloise, and Margaret collectively share over 80 years experience working with clay.

Participation in various roles at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center is the common thread which brought them together. Their work has been shown and published nationally in clay's most prestigious venues. The show will include works ranging from exquisite shino-glazed tea bowls, to sculptural works with architectural influences, to hearty pitchers perfect for summertime lemonade. A detailed craftmanship is evident in such various elements as innovative textural explorations, masterful kilnsmanship, and gorgeous brushwork.
