CM Continued through reading, listening and experiencing. I am guilty of “damaging the development of pottery” by spending a few days a year at fairs where I get out of the hen house, meet and enjoy the company of other potters, have my work appreciated, and make some good money. I strive for quality and self-satisfac- tion in my work. I will never understand the constant concern over how much emphasis should be placed in the art of pottery or the craftsmanship of pottery and the constant matchmaking of sculpture with pottery. I may be struggling to pay my bills and keep my pottery going, but it is my choice to produce rather than preach pottery. I don’t know why academic potters feel they have a right to accuse “chicken coop” potters of damaging the development of pottery just because we didn’t spend thousands of dollars in a uni­ versity system learning our craft, but used what resources were available to learn at home. I welcome any university-produced or university-employed potter into my coop any time and doubt that they would find my work poor quality or damaging. Brian, I hope you keep your feathers unruffled.

  • Bindley Collection the Heart of the Bindley Collection Is the Passion That Colleen and Dennis Have for Art
    The Colleen & Dennis Bindley Collection The heart of the Bindley Collection is the passion that Colleen and Dennis have for art. The works in this collection reflect that joy. While there are major names in their collection the driving force of their acquisition of art is whether or not they enjoy the piece. I purposefully did not put nametags beside the pieces because the importance of the work is not who made them but the joy you receive from looking at and using them. The Bindleys live with their collection. Their house is full of sculpture and functional forms. It is in this spirit that I chose the pieces in the show and why the cabinets are full. This show also reflects the rich historical and educational value of the Bindley Collection. Over the years Colleen and Dennis have been very generous in lending their collection to regional colleges and high schools. Their collection represents a complete range of ceramic techniques from hand built to wheel thrown, from earthenware to porcelain, from functional to sculptural, from low fire to high fire, oxidation and reduction firings, from raku and pit firings to wood fires. Practically everything that artists can do with clay is represented here. The other amazing aspect of the Bindley Collection is its connection to ceramic art history. There are many big names here from both Europe and the United States. From Europe the major names are Hans Coper and Lucie Rie, Mary Rogers and John Ward, from the U.S. there are many names reflecting the historical connections past and present.

Exhibitions surrounding NCECA’s annual conference have an important impact on host communities as well as the artists and collectors who travel from throughout the U.S. and abroad to experience the diversity of creative approaches to contemporary work with clay. An Exhibitions Committee composed of artists and/ curators with links to the host region reviews exhibition proposals to consider them for inclusion in listings. NCECA’s goal with this listing is to provide access to information about exhibitions that demonstrate compelling ideas and represent a high standard of creative inquiry involving clay. While NCECA cannot control the admissions policies of venues hosting exhibitions during the NCECA conference, all of them included in this exhibitions listing have been strongly encouraged to admit visitors wearing NCECA conference registration badges without charge.
