2003 Regis Masters Series Exhibition

This year’s Northern Clay exhibit and forum with an acknowledged master of ceramic art is a twofer, as both the 2002 and 2003 invitees will be here simultaneously, dropping science and throwing pots like there’s no tomorrow. Now in her 80s, Gütte Eriksen has earned her place as one of Denmark’s most important potters, combining ancient European traditions with Japanese forms. Her innovative approach garnered high praise from no less than Sir David Attenborough, who applauded “the delectable way her subtly varied glazes poured and dripped over their bulges and gathered in creamy pools in their gutters.” (Recently we praised the guy at the donut shop the same way for his innovative glazes, and he called us names and told me us to get the hell out of his store.) Australia’s Janet Mansfield is known for her editorship of two international magazines on the art and science of ceramics, and also works to strengthen ties among the world’s pottery community, exactly what the Regis Masters series aims to do as well. NCC, 2424 E. Franklin Ave., (612) 339-8007, www.northernclaycenter.org
