The Potters Council is hosting a clay conference in Staunton, Virginia on
June 1-3. Here is how Kevin Crowe described it in a recent note to his
workshop students:
THE ENGLISH CONNECTION
June 1-3, 2006 in Staunton, Virginia
_www.PottersCouncil.org/EnglishConnection_
(http://www.potterscouncil.org/EnglishConnection)
or contact Danielle McIntosh at the Potters Council 614-794-5890
or, if you have questions about the program, you can call Nan Rothwell
434-263-4023
The English Connection is a conference that will explore the lives of 6
potters, 3 American and 3 English, who learned to pot in England at the same
time. These potters became friends and influenced each others work in unexpected
ways. These influences and friendships have continued for 25 years, shaping
both their collective work and the work of potters throughout the U.S and
Britain.
It is rare to have these six influential potters in one place to share
histories and aesthetic journeys over so many miles and tons of clay.
The American potters are Bill Van Gilder, Dan Finnegan and Nan Rothwell. The
Brits are Sylvia Dales, Toff Milway and Micki Schloessingk. From their
beginnings in England, all these potters established studios with national and
international reputations. This conference will be a rare and exciting
opportunity. Don't miss it !!
