NORTH ADAMS, Mass. - The North Adams Artists Co-op Gallery (NAACO) welcomes the public to the final of four artists' talks and demonstrations to be held at the gallery on 33 Main Street, North Adams at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, October 7.
The talk is free to the public and refreshments will be served.
Jessica Phillips is a ceramic artist and an exhibiting member of the North Adams Artists’ Co-Op Gallery where she has on display selection a selection of unique hand-carved vases, bowls, and teapots that she creates at her studios at Battenkill River Pottery Studio in Arlington, Vermont.
Her current series is inspired by nature incorporating traditional shapes with her innovative carving style. The designs are based on her original botanical drawings and carved free hand onto the ceramic form. Jessica will show how to adapt a two dimensional images to work onto three dimensional surfaces. She will be taking about and demonstrating her innovative hand carving technique demonstrating the carving process from start to finish and will have examples of her work in its various stages. She will also discuss the formulation of glazes from raw materials.
Jessica graduated Magna Cum Laude from UNC-Wilmington with a BA in Studio Art. Her work is inspired by ancient art, she follows the belief that the best foundation an artist can have is to know what came before them. “I have always been fascinated by ancient cultures and the graceful forms of their ceramic vessels”.
The North Adams Artist Co-op Gallery is proud to be one of the 27 galleries participating in this year’s DownStreet Art. DownStreet Art is a public art project of the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) designed to energize the creative economy and revitalize downtown North Adams.
