Shirt Factory Artists at Wired Gallery



I am now settled in my new studio located in the Shirt Factory building in Kingston NY.
The studio is a wonderful light filled space with comforting sounds of the passing train several times a day and a community of artists working quietly behind their studio doors.
New work has begun and with plenty of space and the addition of a large oval Bailey kiln, I am excited to see what comes next !

 Last night an exhibition showcasing the work of  22 Shirt Factory artists opened at Wired Gallery in High Falls. A steady crowd packed the gallery during the opening and it was great to see so many old and new friends and supporters.

Art Ichol - International Ceramic Sculpture Residency and Symposium Feb 2016





A month after my return from the residency I am still processing all that is India, from color and sound to the enormous generosity of the people.
Invited by artist Madvhi Subrahmanian the 7 residency artists gathered in Dehli  from different corners of the globe and continued our journey together for 15 hours by train to rural  Maihar,M.P. in the middle of India.


We were greeted by our host Ambica Beri and welcomed us to Art Ichol, the bucolic setting that would be our home and studio for the next 2 weeks.



The theme of the residency was exploration and experimentation within the format of large ceramic sculpture. It was our collective hope to each make and fire a large piece to leave behind for the sculpture park within a 10 day time frame.
The group was well chosen by  Madvhi as we were all work maniacs and up to the huge challenge! Work was made, a wood kiln was built, several kilns were fired and some of the works survived with flying colors!



We got to know each other as we worked, ate, shared slides of our work and did some sightseeing during our memorable time in Maihar.






Returning to Dehli at the end we had a one day symposium with Indian Ceramic artists. Slide presentations were shared and cross cultural topics discussed. I was very impressed by the excellence of the works and presentations of the Indian Artists. There is something familiar among clay artists wherever one goes in the world and we all connected easily as if we already knew each other.

I took over 1000 photos and am still sorting. You can view a few of my impressions of India on Instagram  and a journal of our  work during the residency which is public view on  my  Facebook page.

Eventually I will post an album on Flicker for anyone interested in seeing more.
But for now the studio calls and it's back to work inspired and refreshed by all that is India!

India!

In a couple of days I will be leaving for India to participate in an International ceramic sculpture residency  in Maihar Pradesh followed by a symposium in Dehli. It is a very exciting opportunity  and I am thrilled to be joining Madvhi Subrihamian and 7 other artists for 19 days of art making and discussion with our Indian colleagues. You can follow us here. http://ceramicresidency.blogspot.sg/

Finally !









 

















I can hardly believe it has been almost a year since I moved from 18th Street to Buck Road !
Next week I move into my new studio.  Sometimes life presents a path not considered.
This is not the studio I planned to build adjacent to my house.
Feeling isolated in the rural environment and facing unending roadblocks getting the construction going, I followed the advice of friends and looked to the nearby city of Kingston, NY.  Rapidly becoming  destination for  artists,  I found a wonderful studio in the Shirt Factory Studio Building in mid town Kingston. The beautiful light streaming in from the bank of windows, high ceilings, and familiar manual freight elevator made me feel right at home. The other tenants are  creatives of all stripe working in the four floor building. Everyone is welcoming and I look forward to getting to know my new neighbors.
I am excited to begin working  in this fresh new space!
I will miss seeing those of you who attended  my annual holiday sale in NYC over the years, and hope we will keep in touch.

You can now follow me on Instagram  @kathyerteman

Have a wonderful Thankgsgiving  and holiday season !

Santa Fe Clay Show



 

This is the final week for the show of vessels with Lauren Mabry, Giselle Hicks and myself at Santa Fe Clay. The spare installation was perfect for our minimal vessels.

 

 
































It was great to see old friends at the opening and meet local artists and collectors.

Spring is Here!





















 














Spring greetings  to you ! 
I made the big move from 18th Street on a snowy day in mid January and am just now resurfacing after a very long winter getting settled. My new home and studio are in Stoneridge, New York in the Hudson Valley. There  is  a vibrant  creative community tucked in and around the nearby villages and towns from New Paltz to Woodstock.














During this endless winter I have been unpacking, organizing, and shoveling snow!
My cats miss their window perch atop the radiator with 18th Street bustling below but we are all adjusting well to our new life.

When the snow melts later this spring I will build a new studio on the property with  lots of light and space. My phone number and email will remain the same once the new studio is completed I invite you to visit by appointment.
In the mean time my small warm studio is functional and I am back to work!
The first piece completed here is  a wall installation for the public space in a new Gensler building in Houston Texas. 



This month my  work will be included in  a three person  at Santa Fe Clay, show opening April 17. 
I am pleased to be in the company of talented colleagues Lauren Mabry and Giselle Hicks in this beautiful space. 
If you are in the area please come by for the opening on April 17,  5-7.



















Thanks to everyone who came to the studio  sale in December to say goodbye.
 I quietly opened  an online shop after the sale for those who could not attend in person. I'm glad  that so many of you found it !  There are still a few pieces available now and I will post new functional pots again in May with an announcement  in advance.

Happy Spring and keep in touch!

END OF AN ERA

















Today I write to you with BIG news. After 20 years of living and working on 18th Street I will soon be moving. As you all know New York is a changing landscape and my move has been pending for quite some time. The date is now set for mid January.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that my long time wait for a space in Westbeth Artist Community comes to pass. In the meantime I will be living and working upstate in Stone Ridge, New York with frequent trips to the city.

I hope to see you in early December for my final Open Studio and Sale. The following week come back for the Moving Sale where I'll be selling furniture, ceramics from my collection, and miscellaneous surprises from deep in the cupboards!
