A Journey from Student to Master

Visit Phil Hamling site for more exhibition images

Tyler Teaching Gallery will host one of the largest exhibitions of crystalline pottery to ever be held on an international scale. William Schran, Tyler Gallery Director, has brought together more than 50 artists from around the world to exhibit a variety of crystalline techniques and ceramic forms. The exhibition will feature pieces from world renowned artists including: Bill Campbell, Ginny Conrow, Diane Creber, Jesse Hull, Peter Ilsley, Jamie Kozlowski, Marsha Silverman, Fara Shimbo and John Tilton. More information about the Crystallie Glazed Ceramics can be viewed as PDF file here.

William Schran, curator of the exhibit, explained the reason for this show; “Interest in crystalline glazes has grown dramatically of the past few years. More and more ceramic artisans have begun experimenting with this technically demanding process. In the past ten years three books and several technical articles have been published on the subject. An international crystalline glaze online discussion forum has just celebrated its second year. I felt it was time to provide an avenue for the emerging and established artists to show off their latest discoveries, techniques and directions in crystalline glazes.”
