I have been a member of the Torpedo Factory
Art Center since it's inception in 1974. This year I have
left Studio 24 after so many wonderful years with my studio
associates and meeting in person all the folks who have come
to our great Art Center. I am now part of the Center as an
associate member. You can view my work here on the TFAC web
page and also by going directly to my business website www.jipottery.com
. There, you can order and buy my work. I will be happy to
ship it to you.
As always, I spend many hours developing
new ideas and refining my skills. Art is still foremost in
my mind as it is a fascinating visual method of expressing
inner concepts. As you see by viewing my photos, I use two
very different methods. Stoneware is an all encompassing clay;
durable with deep bright glazes. Raku on the other hand is
low fire, more fragile, but because of the extreme firing
procedure it provides a myriad of colors and values not achievable
in high fire stoneware.
Besides teaching and directing the Pottery
Workshop, a department of The Art League School, for sixteen
years, my work is in many private collections, and credits
include many juried exhibitions, awards, invitationals and
several one-artist shows. 2006 brought a purchase award at
the Ellarslie House, Arts and History branch of the Trenton
Museum. In addition, many galleries across the country carry
my work, including "As Kindred Spirits" at Reagan
National Airport.
