LATE BREAKING NEWS FLASH!
Karen Karnes will fly from Vermont to Pittsburgh on Friday, December 11 to be
present at the opening of the Exhibition to Benefit the Karen Karnes/Ann
Stannard Fire Fund at The Clay Place, 5416 Walnut Street, Pittsburgh, PA.
I have just spent the weekend with her and 30 other potters at the Annual
Pottery Invitational that she curates in Demarest, NJ. She was so moved to
hear of the wonderful response to our call for pots that she decided that she
wanted to be there to see the show and to meet any of the potters who might
attend. Anyone in the area is encouraged to appear! I have forgotten the
hours for the opening reception, but you can call The Clay Place to find out.
See below!
I have just spoken with Elvira Peake who owns The Clay Place and she is
thrilled to report that she has received 150 pots for the Exhibition. Works
contributed range from M.C. Richards and Robert Turner to a potter who sent
her very first pot. It's going to be a fantastic exhibition. Elvira asked me
to encourage you to keep them coming. If you fear that you have missed the
deadline, no worry - the show will be up until January 13th. Pots will leave
the gallery as they are sold and Elvira hopes that potters will continue to
send pots for the exhibition, so her shelves will be full for the entire
month. She is determined to sell the all!
For those of you new to Clayart, Karen Karnes and Ann Stannard suffered a
devastating fire back in May when they lost everything - home and studio.
They escaped with only their lives, their pajamas and their Dodge Caravan
(with melted rear lights!). Their insurance covers the replacement of their
home, but not their studio, equipment, clay, etc. A fire fund has been
established and an Exhibition to Celebrate the Life and Work of Karen Karnes
and Ann Stannard will open on Friday, December 11 (through January 13) at The
Clay Place in Pittsburgh, PA.
We ask all Clayarters to contribute one of their clay creations and/or a kiln
god to the Exhibition. They should be sent to:
The Karnes/Stannard Exhibition
The Clay Place
5416 Walnut Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15232
Elvira Peake is the Director/Owner of the Gallery and she can be
reached at 412-682-3737.
I hope to see many of you there on Friday!

I wish I could be there. It seems to me that it is going to be an
outstanding exhibition - worth going just to see the work of all this
broad spectrum of pottery. Since I can't go, I hope that someone
who IS going will take a camera/video/something and record what
is bound to be an extraordinary exhibition, from "first pots" all the
way through to Turner and Cushing and whomever.
If anyone records it, in whatever fashion, would you email me
off-list?
Thanks,
