John Bryan Community Pottery

Invitation to Exhibit

Fellow Potters and past studio members, teachers and friends,

John Bryan Community Pottery welcomes you to show your work in our newest gallery exhibition:

TIMELINE: Revealing our past, Inspiring our future.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting us in a while, we have a few surprises in store. We have installed new high efficiency light fixtures, remodeled a section of the studio into a gallery space and constructed a wood-fired kiln.

The first show in our gallery featured our current members, staff and board. In this new show we hope to explore the storied past of our pottery, with you, its former members, staff, students and teachers as the focus and inspiration.

The Details

-Exhibit one to three pieces from each of our past community members.

-October 5, 2011: Delivery or pickup of work (we will gladly collect the work from your nearby home or studio).

-Show Dates: October 14 through November 17, 2011

-Artist’s Reception: October 29, 2011 at 4:00 p.m.

For the Artist Reception please bring any details from our past you would like to share such as photos, significant events, facility improvements and past renters or students. We know very little about the very early days at the pottery. We will have an interactive timeline displayed for all to fill in our history together.

The reception will also coincide with the third firing of our wood kiln. All exhibit participants are also invited to drop off or send a few pieces to be included in this firing. You are also welcomed to join us for the labor of firing all day Saturday.

Artwork in the exhibit is not required to be for sale, though it is encouraged. The pottery’s commission (30%) will go directly into funding educational programs. We hope to grow the scholarship and workshop opportunities for our community.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions, insights or ideas.

Sincerely,

Dianne Collinson, Studio Director
