Fireworks IV
An All Clay Show
Opening Reception - Saturday, January, 31, 2009
5:00 to 8:00 pm
Everyday Clay Studio in Tillett Gardens
Potters and sculptors from around the Caribbean or having ties to the Caribbean, working in the medium of clay were invited to submit work to the
Fourth Annual FireWorks Show.
The aim of the show was to showcase ceramic artists and students, to educate the community about ceramics and to show how the medium can include functional, sculptural, wheel-thrown, hand-built, wall hangings, dinnerware and much more.
For years there have been ceramics and pottery in the Caribbean. In 2005
Lynn Berry started creating the concept of FireWorks, an all clay show featuring ceramics artists from the Caribbean. The first show, in 2005, was held at Gallery St. Thomas. The second show, in 2006, was held at Mango Tango, and the third, in 2007, was at the the Tillett Gallery in Tillett Gardens. Our fourth show was held in the same space as last year, at Tillett Gardens, which has since developed into the Everyday Clay Studio.
Each year the show grows with more participants and deeper creativity. Pieces range from functional, decorative, wheel thrown, hand built, high-fired, low-fired, and wood-fired. With all of this variety, one can see that pottery is widely varied and may not be what you would expect.
