In Ceramics Monthly’s newly revamped March issue, there’s a spread on Pots in Action, garnished with five nice shots that I particularly like. One of the main reasons I started this crowd sourcing project was to try and broaden the outreach for handmade pots. Yet what’s nice about this article is that the message of Pots in Action is returning home to an audience that loves ceramics, though may not necessarily think about photographing them in use. Linda Christianson, one of my great pottery heroes, talks about pots creating a kind of stage set in the home. As people live their lives cooking, reading, talking, leaving and coming into the room, pots are always there appearing and disappearing as she says. Pots in Action captures this kind of theater that is constantly in flux and happening all over the world. It’s a little window into what is candid and what is staged; it’s where permanence and impermanence intersect in the world of handmade pots. Thanks to Ceramics Monthly for publishing this piece.
