Living Large: Extreme Glazing and Monumental Scale Work Together in a Powerful Ceramic Installation
Sometimes bigger is better. This was the conclusion that Danish ceramic artist Morten Løbner Espersen came to when developing the concept for a public art commission for the Public Library in Hillerod, Denmark. Espersen chose to not only take a monumental approach when it came to the scale, but also in the surface treatment by loading the pieces up with about 55 pounds of glaze and firing them multiple times.

The Month in Clay - November 2008
If you're going to be anywhere near Chicago in early November, you need to go check out SOFA (Sculpture Objects and Functional Art) on Navy Pier, November 7-9. There will be a ton of ceramics on view, as well as other craft media. It's overload, really, but what better way to be overloaded? And don't forget to stop by the resource center to pick up your complimentary Gallery Guide issue of Ceramics Monthly. We'll see you there!
Below are several other great ceramics exhibitions happening in November, but if you don't find anything happening in your area, click over to the Ceramics Monthly Calendar for a more comprehensive listing.
