The Cup: Matt Wilt - Edwardsville, IL
Matt Wilt Mug Cone 10, salt fired, dark stoneware (4 x 4.5 inches) CUP 208 $40 SOLD |
Statement:
In making
functional pottery, I try to treat each piece as a condensed sculpture. The
formal combinations of line, mass, balance, skin, volume, and proportion allow
for an infinite number of conclusions. When working with these variables, my
goal is to find an arrangement that has a strong visual presence and emotive
impact on the user. Ultimately, whether a pot is being held in someone’s hands
or is sitting on a shelf, I would like its presence to be felt.
Matt Wilt Mug Cone 10, salt fired, dark stoneware (4 x 4.25 inches) CUP 209 $40 |
Each of these cups was fired to cone 10 (2,380 degree Fahrenheit), in a salt kiln. Sodium, in the form of rock salt, is introduced into the kiln at approximately 2,300 degrees and continues for an hour while peak temperature is reached. The sodium vaporizes and creates a glaze on the surface of the dark stoneware clay, and also affects the color of the applied glazes. The salt firing process allows for a measure of unpredictability that is both rewarding and challenging.

Bio:
Matt Wilt is currently Associate Professor of Art at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He received his Bachelor's degree in Ceramics and Art Education at Pennsylvania State University and his Master of Fine Arts degree at Ohio University, Athens.

He also traveled extensively in Nepal and Thailand prior to pursuing graduate study.

The Cup: Tara Wilson - Montana City, MT
Tara Wilson Cup wood-fired stoneware (3.5 x 3 inches) CUP 203 $30 |
Statement:
Quiet
pots initially speak softly yet reveal complexity in both form and surface
through continued investigation and use.
Embodied in my wood fired vessels is the serenity that I experience by
surrounding myself on a daily bases with a rich natural environment.
Tara Wilson Cup wood-fired stoneware (3.5 x 3 inches) CUP 204 $30 |
The
rich surfaces of the vessels represent the natural world. Nature also inspires form, in some cases
quite literally, as river rocks become saucers.
Other pieces speak of this passion more subtly. Bases reference the landscape, evoking a
sense of space and awareness of the land.
Parallels can be drawn between geological processes and the atmospheric
firing process. Pots physically capture
and record their firing process similar to the way sedimentary and metamorphic
rocks speak of their history.
Tara Wilson Mug wood-fired stoneware (5 x 4.25 inches) CUP 205 $35 SOLD |
Pottery’s
inherent relationship to the figure is accentuated in my gestural forms. The dialog between the forms changes as the
pieces are used. The simple things in life
are often the most important. My pots
speak of my passions, while at the same time allowing the user to recognize the
important things in their own lives.

sculptural porcelain vessels, but soon turned his attention to painting on
porcelain. Weiser's allegorical scenes, painted in a natural realism style on
his distinctive vessel forms have since then become easily recognizable works
of a porcelain painting master.

The Cup: Shoko Teruyama - Marshall, NC
Shoko Teruyama Cup coil built, sgraffito decorated, earthenware (3.25 x 3 inches) CUP 187 $80 SOLD |
Statement:
Growing up in
Japan, I remember tradition being part of daily life. Temples and shrines were everywhere, even
inside our home. I was drawn to these
sacred spaces and ceremonial objects because they were decorated with texture
and pattern contrasted by areas of calm and stillness.
These memories
inspire my current work. I make boxes,
intimate bowls, and small plates for precious objects, vases for flower
arranging and a variety of serving pieces.
Many of the forms allude to function and would serve food well, but are
more comfortable being placed in sacred spaces of the home like the center of a
formal dining room table, a hope chest, or a bedside stand.
Shoko Teruyama Cup coil built, sgraffito decorated, earthenware (3 x 3 inches) CUP 188 $80 |
The making begins
with bisque molds, slab construction, and coil building to make thick, heavy
forms. I carve, shave, and sand excess
clay away to slowly reveal the final shape.
Puff handles and other elements are added for physical decoration. White slip is brushed over the red
earthenware to create depth and motion.
Then I carve back through the slip exposing the red clay. Shiny translucent glazes are applied over the
decorated areas and opaque matte glazes over the calm areas.
Ornamentation is
important to my ideas. I have created
motifs called vine patterns to lead your eye around the work. Patterns run continuously to create narrow
borders or to fill large amounts of space.
They can flow into tight curves just as easily as they can bend around the
belly of a form. The patterns create
visual movement representing water, wind, and clouds.
Shoko Teruyama Cup coil built, sgraffito decorated, earthenware (3 x 2.25 inches) CUP 189 $80 SOLD |
I create characters
based on human relations and things I have experienced. To me it is much easier to draw owls than
humans. I don't want to tell specific
stories to people, I want people to create their own. Sometimes you feel like the weight of a
turtle standing on top of you and sometimes you feel like an owl standing on
top of the world. Some of my characters
have a dark nature. I think that is
life. Sometimes dark things happen. Overall, I want my work to have a sense of
hope and a sense of humor because life goes on.
Shoko Teruyama Cup coil built, sgraffito decorated, earthenware (3 x 3.25 inches) CUP 190 $80 |
Bio:
Shoko Teruyama grew
up in Mishima, Japan. She earned a BA in education and taught elementary school
two years before coming to the United States to study art at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln in 1997. Shoko received
her MFA in ceramics in the fall of 2005 from Wichita State University. She finished a three-year residency at the
Penland School of Crafts in 2008 and is now a studio artist in Marshall, NC.

The Cup: Gertrude Graham Smith - Bakersville, NC

Gertrude Graham Smith Tall Mug amber, soda fired, porcelain (6.75 x 4.25 inches) CUP 182 $45 |
Statement:
Moving softly and responsively,
the feel of porcelain clay thrown on a potters’ wheel is celebrated in the
vessels I make. My pots are animated by
thoughtful and spontaneous manipulation of their forms, surfaces, and
attachments. Handles sweep up and out
from bellies and shoulders. Jars raised
on feet dance in space. Scale and
surfaces appeal to the human hand. In the kiln, flames filled with sodium
decorate anticipated edges.

Gertrude Graham Smith Tall Mug white and amber, soda fired, porcelain (7 x 4.75 inches) CUP 183 $45 |
I’m looking for my vessels to bring joy with their use and presence, to be good companions for daily living. They truly come alive when they find a home with you. I’m thinking that when a hand embraces a cup, there’s a distinct possibility that a heart may fill with compassion.

Linda Sikora Cup porcelain, polychrome glaze, wood/oil/salt fired (3.75 x 5.25 inches) CUP 178 $45 |
Statement:
Jars
and teapots have been central to my practice for a number of years now. The teapot, more demanding of specific
engineering particular to its function, and the jar, a generous canvas, its
criteria of containment more permissive.
These pieces fuel or act as counterpoint to other forms, or subjects
under consideration. I am interested in pottery form for its familiarity and
congeniality, its ability to disappear into private/personal activities and
places. But this is only one aspect of
the work that, through its intelligence of color, form and stance can also
excite/awaken attention and thereby reflects back to the viewer their own
imagination. Invisible or visible, or
oscillating back and forth between these states, the pots foster both attention
and inattention.

The Cup: Jane Shellenbarger - Rochester, NY
Jane Shellenbarger Rabbit-Cup stoneware, soda fired, post fired (4.75 x 5.5 inches) CUP 168 $75 SOLD |
Statement:
My work
focuses on a pottery idiom, incorporating historical references and social
issues with domestic objects. I work in both porcelain and black clays, firing
with atmospheric kilns. Often the pieces
undergo multiple post firings to achieve a depth of surface.
While
function continues to be an essential concern, I am most intrigued with the
ability of pots to transcend themselves as objects and convey information. The
ability for the work to draw relationships to history and social issues through
imagery, content, and form hold my fascination.
Jane Shellenbarger Victrola/Goat-Cup stoneware, soda fired, post fired (4 x 5.75 inches) CUP 169 $75 SOLD |
The
work that currently holds my interest combines the way interact with our
environment and the impact it has on animal and plant species, with traditional
vessels and their histories. At its best the work becomes both artifact and an
object of the contemporary world. The
use of glaze as a painterly ground provides an impetus to interact with imagery
that resounds with a reaction to the world in which we all share.

Emily Schroeder Willis Cup oxidized porcelain, 2011 (5 x 3.5 inches) CUP 160 $35 |
Statement:
Elements
of touch, intimacy and mark making are extremely important to the work that I
make. I create subtle forms on which I draw imagery that is sensitive to
how each pot was touched and formed. An aspect unique to my work is that
every movement and gesture is marked and recorded on the surface of my
pots. I have chosen this rather slow and tedious process of pinching
because I believe that pinching pots instead of throwing them on a wheel or
building them with slabs creates a different type of intimacy. I see my
fingerprints as a sort of brush stroke. In the way that a painter paints
a canvas and creates a certain sensibility in the image, I create an intimacy
in my work by the way that my fingers touch the clay. Human presence and
the mark of the hand are important to my work, which steps back to a time where
work isn't about production, but the touch of a fingertip.
