| Upcoming Show: April 19 – May 17 Yunomi Invitational 2013 (Online Only!) Yunomi (U-know-me)- A form of tea bowl, usually being taller than it Welcome to our yearly tradition…
This exclusively
online event is now in its seventh year of delighting potters and clay lovers alike; the Yunomi Invitational
is one of the our most diverse,
colorful, and entertaining shows to date. Invitations were sent out in mid-July of 2012;
with many immediate responses the list became more
clear with each passing day. Finally the roster was complete with
206
ceramic artists delivering over 1,000 Yunomi. The Invitational includes ceramic artists from legends to emerging artists,
living in Iowa City to
Sweden, using everything from porcelain to terra cotta, and even Yunomi that come with boxes, lids
and pedestals. From the minimalist to
illustrative with flora, fauna and geometric patterns and text, this annual invitational
gives us an extraordinary
glimpse into contemporary artists’ interpretation of a Yunomi. This year’s show has over
2,060 photos of Yunomi alone and as with any AKAR
show, accompanying artist biographies, statements and resumes
are
included. While this appears daunting in task, it truly has been a labor of love for all of us here at the gallery. Contributions to The Studio Potter: For How to View the Work: This show is viewable online ONLY. So this Friday, April 19th at 10:00 AM Central Time all the Yunomi will be viewable at www.akardesign.com |
