 No! No! No! I don’t want to acknowledge that it is almost August. But it is, and that means that it is time to pass along what I consider to be the hottest ceramics exhibitions out there for the last month of summer. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

I was so excited to happen upon 2007 Kansas City Art Institute graduate Daniel Ricardo Teran’s work recently. I am so taken by the combination of his luscious, milky slips and glazes, the earthenware clay and his wonderful drawings. This is a must see in Kansas City!

Vidal Corona, Vessel with Humming Birds.

A couple of months back, we featured a video about Mata Ortiz, a village in Mexico that came back to life thanks to one man and his passion for pottery. The story is a fascinating one and, if you missed it, I highly recommend checking it out here.

So, I just had to feature this exhibition of Mata Ortiz works at Armstrong’s Gallery in Pomona, California. When I initially saw the piece at the left, I didn’t realize it was a Mata Ortiz pot – a testament to the fact that Mata Ortiz potters are blending
traditional and contemporary designs to create a dynamic new art movement.

Hong Ling Wee
says, “the experience of safe and quiet spaces is what the work is
about.” And with the muted, yet subtly vibrant, color palette and the
simplicity of the form, I would have to agree. I would imagine that if
I were to see these in person, I would want to shrink down and crawl
right inside.
