Juror's Statement- Christ Landers
 
​​"potluck
/pätˈlək/
noun
A communal gathering where each guest or group contributes a different, often homemade
dish of food to be shared.
I would like to thank Jenna Gianni, without her this exhibition would not have been
possible.
As an artist, one of the reasons I am drawn to this medium is for the community who often
gather to share their ideas, support, and nourishment. To represent these attributes of the
ceramic family I have named the exhibition “Potluck”. I would like to thank all of the
invited artists for setting the overall tone for this exhibition. Each of the submissions to this
call had merit and showed great ability making these decisions difficult. Though the
decisions were not easy, I think it is the juror’s responsibility to curate a cohesive exhibition
to the best of their ability. I hope you enjoy the work of all of these wonderful artists as one
cohesive Potluck."

You can still find my pieces along with other work made by me and other artists at their Front Porch Gallery.

Soda Firing Workshop Review

8/28/2019

 

Did you know that I travel to teach workshops?

Picture
Picture
I wanted to share some of the reviews from my most recent soda firing workshop I taught at Community Arts Center in Wallingford, PA. This was a 5 day long workshop.
Picture
Picture

​Here are quotes from my students feedback:

"Lisa:
-Very Organized
-Very open and relaxed
-Made everyone feel welcome and included
-Enjoyed Powerpoints for clarity and organization
-Worked hard to make us a cohesive group with humor
-Enjoyed our ending discussions/critiques"

"Lisa, I have learned a lot about the whole process of soda firing and because of that I  will start making pots more intentionally for the kiln. Liked combination of lecture slides, demonstration, and doing."

"1. Loved your Manner, Knowledge, and introducing us to loosening up on wheel thrown pots. It’ll be nice to venture away from the round!
2. Really appreciated your organization skills (slide presentations), and reminding us to be good stewards.
3. I hope you’ll come back soon! Your energy and Enthusiam are wonderful!"

The biggest critique was not enough glazing and making time...I might need to turn this into a longer workshop next time!

Ps. Community Arts Center...thanks for hosting me, and fostering such a wonderful work environment and amazing students. Also your students have no idea how lucky they are to have a soda kiln on a double hinged door. Click here to see video of using door!
Feel free to reach out for more soda firing workshop opportunities in the future. My next workshop will be in Minot, North Dakota in October, and stay tuned for more opportunities to work with me in the future.
