Events & Workshops Clatsop Community College Presents "Crane -- Crow" Terry Inokuma & Grace Sanchez • April 4th to May 9th Clatsop Community College is pleased to announce an upcoming visual arts exhibit titled Crane Crow featuring Terry Inokuma, Ceramicist and Grace Sanchez, Painter and Collage Artist, curated by Richard Rowland, CCC Ceramics Professor. Click image to visit Clatsop CC website for full information.
"Terry Inokuma and Grace Sanchez are currently Northwest Artists who are making their road to self-identity from two shores, America and Japan, so for me, to understand and learn more from their work, it is important to look at how cultural influence has affected their personal artistic styles, nuance and the iconography they have chosen... They are not just telling their stories; they are continually reinterpreting them into blended contemporary and shared melting pots that are alchemous and studied, emerging into honorific art forms that blur cultural boundaries." -- Richard Rowland Their work will be on display from April 4th to May 9th, 2013 in CCCs Art Gallery, 1799 Lexington Ave, Astoria Oregon. CCC Art Center Gallery will host an opening reception on April 4th at 6:00 pm, which is free and open to the public. The artists will be in attendance and refreshments will be provided. Museum of Contemporary Craft Presents Sunday, May 19 • 9:00am - 4:00pm Museum of Contemporary Craft is thrilled to present a day of demonstrations with Maine-based studio potter Ayumi Horie. A potter's relationship to clay is one of nuance, born of trial and lots of error. Ayumi Horie has developed a unique approach -- dry throwing -- that chronicles the honest history of each pot's creation while simultaneously celebrating the inherent idiosyncracies of clay. Inspired by a variety of aesthetics from Mingei to anime to old New England, Ayumi combines this sincere yet intuitive construction process with depictions of dynamic animal characters drawn onto the slip-covered pot. Selected as the first "Ceramic Artist of the Year" by Ceramics Monthly magazine, Ayumi is widely recognized for her unique voice in contemporary ceramics, and for her effective implementation of digital marketing and use of social media to engage her audience in entrepreneurial endeavors and to bring about social action. In 2008 she organized Obamaware, an auction of custom-made Obama-themed tableware, which raised over $10,000 for the Obama-Biden campaign. The day after the devastating tsunamis hit Japan in 2011, Ayumi organized Handmade for Japan, an online auction fundraiser, which has raised over $100,000 to date. Ayumi's work can be found online at ayumihorie.com. In this one-day demonstration workshop, Ayumi will present her process, discuss her relationship with pots and materials, and expound upon the trials and tribulations of the life of a contemporary studio potter.
