December 12 Program for Members
Judit Varga: An Accented Voice

Judit Varga is a Hungarian artist, splitting time between her studios in Maryland and Hungary. Her work has a strong connection to the organic structures observed in the natural world. She is inspired by found objects she collects on walks and trips with her family. These fragile imprints of nature provide her with rich visual vocabulary, endless shapes, and colors. Judit will share a wide range of topics in her presentation including her cultural background, inspirations, professional career as a full time ceramic artist, technical approach of working with porcelain and some ideas for the future. www.JuditVarga.net

The Art of Dining: An Evening with Alleghany Meado

The Art of Dining: An Evening with Alleghany Meadows
November 14, 7:00 pm

Alleghany Meadows will be speaking to us from Carbondale, Colorado, where he maintains a studio practice, among other things. Alleghany has established a ceramics Gallery, two collaborative artists spaces, and maybe most famously, he co-created Artstream.

In his presentation to Montgomery Potters, “The Art of Dining”, Alleghany will share some of the insights, lessons, and observations gained through making work for a renowned chef for the past 5 years as well as during two collaborative workshops taught at Anderson Ranch. The workshops, both called “Studio, Farm, Table: The Art of Dining,” were co-taught with chef Barclay Dodge of BOSQ, Aspen. Workshop participants were called upon to deeply consider pottery as it functions in service and display, focusing on presentation, seasonal influences, and creative decision making from both the potter’s view and that of a chef working to create a sensory experience for his patrons.

After completion of his MFA at Alfred University, Alleghany worked as an apprentice in Japan, received a Fellowship for study of potters in Nepal, and was an artist-in-residence at Anderson Ranch Arts Center.
On his website, Alleghany states: “I believe that ordinary domestic rituals can have a profound impact on the human condition”.
This is a sentiment many of us consider as we are drawn to making functional pots, and Allegheny’s work embodies this completely in form and intention.

The Art of Dining: An Evening with Alleghany Meadows

Montgomery Potters Program November 8 on Zoom

Alleghany Meadows will be speaking to us from Carbondale, Colorado, where he maintains a studio practice, but also wears many other hats. In addition to maintaining his studio practice, Alleghany co-founded the Harvey/Meadows Gallery in Aspen, which became one of the country’s premiere galleries devoted largely to ceramic work; he co-founded a collaborative artists space, called the Studio for Arts + Work (SAW), and a recently opened sister-project, Arts Recreation Marketplace in Fruita, Co, called (FARM). He also co-created Artstream, which many of us have encountered at NCEC or other places. His work is in collections across the country, including several museums, and he is an invited lecturer and teacher nationally and internationally.

Alleghany Meadows received his BA from Pitzer College, Claremont, CA, and his MFA from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. He apprenticed with Takashi Nakazato, in Kratsu, Japan, received a Watson Foundation Fellowship for Field Study of potters in Nepal, and was an artist-in-residence at Anderson Ranch Arts Center.

We are excited to have Julia Galloway, a potter and professor of ceramics at the University of Montana, in Missoula, launch our fall season. Julia will discuss her larger pottery installation projects, how the ideas developed and how the display of the pottery enhances the concepts in the work. She will also present potters and sculptors working with similar ideas. Towards the end of the presentation Julia will give a handle demonstration and show the slip inlay techniques used in her work. www.juliagalloway.com

Julia is an inspiring ceramics ambassador – devoted to teaching pottery and elevating the understanding of ceramics to the fine arts community and general public. She was awarded a highly competitive $50,000 fellowship from United States Artists and a Distinguished Scholar Award from the University of Montana. Her work is in well-known collections throughout the country and exhibited widely.
