Where There's Smoke... @ Epperson Gallery of Ceramic Arts
1400 Pomona St., Crockett CA 94525
October 18th - November 24th, Opening Reception October 26th, 4:00 - 6:00pm
The Epperson Gallery of Ceramic Arts is pleased to present a group exhibition "Where There's Smoke..." Featuring the Wood Fired works of five artists: Shawn Felts, Rod Guyer, Marc Lancet, Scott Parady, Nick Schwartz and Wesley T. Wright.
"Wood-Firing used to be the only means to fire clay. Today it is a choice that can lead to stunningly beautiful ceramics. The effort required for wood-firing now is voluntary. With electric and gas kilns offering the ceramic artist almost effortless firing, why opt for seemingly unending days and nights of labor? Why, in the face of modern convenience, are ceramic artists internationally electing to wood-fire ceramics? Beauty offers the answer. It's not the"Oh that's lovely," sort of beauty, but an extraordinary beauty--- a heart-aching- ly arresting beauty, an beauty of epic proportions, an beauty worth working for, a beauty only achievable by way of wood-firing."
