Ryan's Gallery Show

Palouse Studio Potter Ryan Law's show at Moscow's 3rd. St. Gallery had its grand opening on January 5th, 2009.

Ryan specializes in ceramic sculpture.

The antics of Ryan's dauxie, Tulley, is a favorite theme. She does a fantastic job of capturing life, movement and personality and even softness in clay.

Speaking of "personality" Ryan's appealing merecats feel like friends.

This little pig may be dirty, but Ryan's regard for animals shows through with her loving treatment of creatures.

Judith's Gallery Show

The Palouse Studio Potters Guild have been well-represented in Moscow Arts this season. Two of us have shows up in Moscow Art Galleries.

Judith Marvin's Ceramic vessels are showing at "Above the Rim" Gallery, 513 S. Main St. Moscow. Her opening reception on January 21st, 2009 was well attended.

Judith used some unusual firing and surface techniques for her pottery. Saggar firing, pit firing, terra sigilatta , and horse hair gave Judith unexpected colors and textures.

The large, handsome vase and a variety of colors. The colors come not from glaze, but from the surface technique and the fire. The surface design of the smaller vases are from the pit and horsehair raku.
