I've seen posts many times from potters and clay folks
travelling to a certain city or area of the U.S., asking
where they can see good pots and good clay.
Surely there is a way to use CLAYART to help identify
where the galleries are in the U.S. that know
and appreciate great pots and have the audience,
or have educated an audience to the beauty that
really good pots can hold. Where are these galleries?
How can potters get hooked up with galleries in this
country who really appreciate pots, who have an audience
that is willing to pay for what great pots should be worth?

Thanks very much to Craig for the info.
It sounds to me like a great trip, especially
to the San Juan islands. Sure wish there were
a similar selection of galleries in the San Juans of
Colorado.
What about the east coast?
The southeast and southwest? California? Texas?
Michigan? Minnesota? Ohio?
Where are there beautiful, elegant, upscale galleries
in these United States that know and appreciate
great pots?
Is the American Hand in Georgetown
still going?
Thanks to Louis for his reminder of great studio
galleries. I'd like to add Gallery 806 in Lafayette Colorado.

Hello David and the rest of you claychatters:
I've not been there myself, but I've heard the Red Star Studios in Kansas
City is a great place to see pots. It's owned by Steven Hill and most of
you know his work. I know a couple of folks who show there and they are
pleased. I think it's a pretty good bet to deal with a gallery run by a
potter, or former potter, that knows quality work and will show a good
spectrum or what's being made at the present time.
Another is, Phoenix Rising in Seattle, Wa. This gallery used to focus
heavily on glass but was purchased a few years ago by Steve Dickinson, a
former potter. I talked to him at the Oregon Potter's Assoc show in
Portland in May. He's changed the focus of the gallery to clay and has had
some great shows there in the recent past.
Also in Seattle is The Northwest Craft Center located in the Seattle Center
near the Space Needle. There's a lot of good clay work there.
Farther North is Orcas Island Pottery, a working pottery which carries lots
of good northwest potters. This is a great trip even if you don't see one
single pot. Orcas Island is in the San Juans which are an absolute
wonderland. I'm working on an order for Orcas Island Pottery as I type and
you can't bet your rear end I'm delivering the stuff in person. I'm not
going to let the UPS driver have all the fun. Also near Orcas Is Pottery
is Crow Valley Pottery, which is a great stop. If you're lucky, Richard
Snyder will be there and he can fill you in on the NW pottery scene from
many years back.
The gallery that I co-own in Oregon carries a lot of claywork. Mostly west
coast but we do have some of Richard Aerni's work from upstate NY. Our
gallery is The Fire's Eye located near McMinnville, Oregon. The main focus
is clay and glass but we have other stuff too. I have been told by potters
that have visited that it's the best pottery gallery in Oregon. I
appreciate that sentiment and hope that it's even partly true. We do have
a wide range of work and I think it's very good. I hope that some of you
can stop by and let us know what you think about our selection.
If you are in Pennsylvania, you might want to find Clayarter Bill Campbell
and check out his gallery. Another potter run scene.
As far as clayart facilitating access to good galleries, I think Helen
Bates has done a great deal in that area by making us aware of how to find
clay and art on the web. Most of the galleries that I've mentioned have
websites. Punch them in to Google and take a gander.
That's it from me. Someone else will have to fill in the blanks!

Fortunately a number of potters sell exclusively or almost so from
their studios. Top on my list are these:
Clary Illian, Ely Iowa
Warren Mackenzie, Stillwater Mn.
Mark Hewitt, NC (Ashville? Pittsboro?)
Mark Skudlarek, (Cambridge Wisconsin)
Dee Buck, Gruene (New Braunfels) TX
This list does exhibit a certain preference on my part.

I'd like to mention The Clay Gallery in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is a
gallery located in an area of restaurants, galleries, and interesting
shops, right off of Main Street. Twelve of us own and manage it as a
cooperative. We've had many wonderful compliments, and people in the Ann
Arbor community and the university seem to seek us out for special
occasion gifts, house-warmings, and "home-brewed" art for trips to foreign
countries. This gallery is not at all exclusively comprised of Potters'
Guild members. Our strength lies partly in our great diversity --
functional, sculptural, raku, wall pieces, etc.
