Holiday Studio Sale 2004
"Little Things"

MudFire Gallery will host its 3rd annual holiday pottery show from November 26 through December 24, 2004. An artists reception and holiday party will be held Friday, December 3, from 5-10pm. The party is open to the public, and there is no admission fee. All works exhibited will be available for sale.

About the Show

Each year the artists, potters and sculptors of MudFire come together for a huge group exhibit and sale. With over 50 artists involved, the breadth of work is stunning with great gift items for anyone's price point and tastes. Gift certificates for studio membership and pottery lessons are also available.

"The theme for this year's show is 'Little Things'," explains show curator Erik Haagensen. "The daily news shows are trying to outdo each other with gloom, doom, fear and uncertainty, and we wanted to use the show to remind people what really matters this holiday season."

Almost all of the works in the show were created onsite at MudFire Pottery Center, a creative playspace for over 100 Atlanta area potters and clay artists. Studio members come from all walks of life . . . many enjoy "clay therapy" as a relaxing hobby, while others are intent on building a career in ceramics. The MudFire Holiday Studio Sale offers Atlantans the opportunity to give truly memorable and unique gifts this holiday season, while supporting and encouraging emerging artists in our community.

"This is my favorite show of the year," notes MudFire Ranger Luba Sharapan, "because I get to share the daily joy of opening the kiln and seeing this incredible creative outpouring that everyday people sneak off to make after work. It's amazing what your Atlanta neighbors are doing when you're not looking!"
