2013 Show Dates & Themes
  • January 7 - February 3
    "
    Illuminations: Bright Ideas in Clay" — In Scope Gallery's first show of the new year, Kiln Club artists are inspired by light, fashioning reflective creations in clay to warm up deep winter. Create a cozy ambiance with the glow from artistic raku table lamps, floral-carved lanterns, ceramic-framed mirrors, sculpted candleholders, and more.
  • February 8 - March 3
    "Wine & Dine" — Either red or white = unique Valentine's ceramic romance! Ceramic Guild potters create original ewers, wine coolers and goblets, and artisan tableware for this new show.

  • March 4 - 30
    "Mud on the Walls" — Kiln Club artists create artwork to make those walls pop! The texture and nature of clay takes two-dimensional ideas,  launching it into another dimension. Come see what's hanging—vases, planters, mirrors, tiles, reliefs, sculpture and another way of thinking about clay.

  • April 1 - May 5
    "The Natural World: Patio and Garden" — Ceramic Guild potters consider the needs of everything green—from flower pots to botanical vases to patio art. This show complements The Art League Gallery's concurrent Flora and Fauna exhibition.

  • July 1 - 28
    "Balance: Playing with Symmetry" — Kiln Club members take a light look at the inequality of art with altered thrown forms, graceful statuary, and balanced or swooping silhouettes. Tweaking a pot after it is thrown traditionally on a wheel provides a fireworks display of wild forms! (Closed July 4)

  • July 29 - September 2
    "Creatures in Clay" — Critter creations by Ceramic Guild members take center stage with a tribute to those furry and feathery. With claywork for pets, as well as work inspired by wildlife, Scope Gallery will be a zoo! See creature-themed tableware, bird houses, animal sculptures, and more!

  • September 30 - October 27
    "Black & White: Dark & Light" — In this show by Kiln Club artists, the extremes of levity and bulk, shine and shade bring out compelling contrasts in form and color.

  • October 28 - December 1
    "Fresh Out of the Oven " — Handmade high-fire pottery is oven safe after being fired to over 2000° F. Ceramic Guild artists present their best bakeware creations to serve all things from cranberries to casseroles to the main course.
