Kenmore Ceramic Guild Exhibition

HE CORONATION SCENE televised across the country last T month was watched by many mil- lions, and it's a safe bet the 25 mem- bers of the Kenmore (N. Y.) Ceramic Guild were among the most attentive viewers. Each member had had a part in creating a scale model of the Coro- nation scene using ceramic figures, a model that was shown May 3 as part of the Guild's Annual Exhibit. The Guild members displayed their creativeness and over-all ceramic abili- ties by hand modeling some of the figures (using an armature), and then making their own plaster molds so that duplicates could be cast. All 40 pieces in the scene are in authentic dress. As guides for their work, the Guild obtained English book- lets and leaflets about the Coronation from the father (living in London) of one of the members. The Guild's Annual Exhibit was

FIRST PRIZE (creative) went to Karl Martz, Nashville, for his globular vase and tall bottle.

OBBY CRAFTSMEN competed alongside professionals in the H Second Biennial Ceramic Exhi- bition at the John Herron Art Museum in Indianapolis (May 17 through June 14). The professionals, of course, took the largest share of prize money, but hobbyists came in for a goodly sum, in both "creative" and the "decorated" class. The Exhibition is sponsored by tl~e Mary Howes "Woodsmall Foundation in honor of Mrs. WoodsmaU, who was a china decorator.

Its "'deco- rated" classification requires that deco- ration be original, though ware might consist of commercial blanks or pieces made in commercial molds. Having two categories makes it pos- sible for many amateurs with good taste and decorative sense and painting skill (but no urge, or perhaps no ability, to construct objects) to compete in a major show. Availability of glazed and unglazed blanks, coupled with the tremendous interest in painting in a decorative style on paper and canvas, eventually could result in a pottery or china decorating enthusiasm that might produce some fresh and exciting pieces. •

TILE SETS (shown at the right) took first and second prizes in the "decorated" division. The three at the right, by John W. Delaplane, Indianapolis, were made by the silk-screen technique. The two at the bottom are by Robert L. Ocks, In- dianapolis, and were painted in under- glaze.

FREE FORM bowls (top of page) by J. J. Marek, Brownsburg, took Second Prize in the "creative" d;vision. The piece in the center was glazed in o jet black mat and trimmed in a stark white.

HEN AND ROOSTER which were slip cast and gaily decorated in overglaze colors were made by Mrs. Charles J. Russell, Indianapolis. The "feathered friends" were awarded Fourth Prize in the "decorated" division.

Trade Shows

EAGER CROWDS were "standard procedure."

T TRADE SHOWS sponsors often find it necessary to resort A to door prizes or top entertainers to attract audiences. At the ceramic shows which were held this year, how- ever, no "gimmicks" were necessary-- the word "'ceramics" made each of the exhibitions complete sellouts. Industrial shows have been going on for many years. Exhibitions of mer- chandise have proved their worth to manufacturers as well as consumers. In the past, ceramic suppliers have exhibited their wares on a small scale, usually in conjunction with school or art conventions or other exhibitions. Only in the past few years has a ceramic trade show of any real magni- tude been in existence. The first major OVERGLAZE CRAYON whlch feeds from a the New Jersey show.

the entire country. This year the cue was taken up by other areas, and three major exhibitions evolved. Los Angeles repeated in March, Dallas held a show of national scope in April, and a third national show was held in Asbury Park, N. J., in May. The many thousands who attended are now convinced there is no better way to become acquainted with the latest developments in ceramic materials and equipment. Old stand-bys and new innovations were on display for the careful scrutiny of teachers, profes- sional potters, and hobbyists alike.
