American Pottery Festival
2010 American Pottery Festival: 20th Anniversary Edition
September 9 – 12, 2010
Join us as we gather together artists, collectors, teachers, students, and all manner of clay enthusiasts to celebrate the art and use of the pot. It's three days of fabulous pottery, fascinating demonstrations by APF artists Liz Quackenbush, Mark Pharis, and Linda Christianson and Julia Galloway among others, as well as thoughtful and engaging panel discussions on such topics as web marketing for the artist, the ways of selling and the whys of buying, how artists make it as gallery owners, and a collector's-eye view of contemporary ceramics.
New this year, you won't want to miss the PechaKucha, a fun and fast-paced presentation of images by visiting APF artists. Each artist taking part in the PechaKucha (a Japanese term meaning “chit-chat”) presents 20 slides for 20 seconds apiece, giving each presenter a total of exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds of potential fame and glory. It promises to be an entertaining and action-packed way to see a lot of fantastic pottery in a short amount of time.
Friday's Opening Night Benefit Sale and Party will feature tasty food, a cash bar, and an evening spent mixing and mingling with fellow lovers of clay-and (friendly) competition for the early selections! All this, and for a good cause too: NCC's annual Festival is our largest fundraiser of the year, whose valuable proceeds go to support artists' services, education, and exhibitions. Your support makes it all possible. Whether you are able to contribute simply the price of admission, or to completely revamp your home with pottery from the weekend's sale, each and every contribution makes a difference—to an artist, a student, a child, a teacher, to all of us who love pottery.This year's line-up of regional and national participants includes such well-known and established potters as Bob Briscoe, Julia Galloway, Ayumi Horie, Warren MacKenzie, Ron Meyers, Sequoia Miller, Jeff Oestreich, and Ellen Shankin, as well as a host of emerging talents, whose work is growing in recognition and increasingly sought by collectors. Click here for a detailed schedule of the Collectors' Weekend Package.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Pots by Warren MacKenzie will be available each day of the Festival, through a process that has been revised from previous years. There will be two drawings: Individual eligibility to draw for a place in line to purchase a pot will be determined through a lottery that will be open for one half hour after the time the doors open; your admission ticket provides your entry to the lottery drawing. Then, individual places in line for purchase of a MacKenzie pot will be determined through a second drawing during the first hour of each day of the Festival. In addition, several pots will be sold each day by silent auction.
