Eutectic Gallery: Contemperary Ceramics Visit
What’s the best thing to do when you have a large project and a deadline? Run away of course. At least that’s how I handled the situation. Actually, the trip to Portland, Oregon was planed before the Penland mug project was definite but it was very nice to get away for a few days and come back to the mugs refreshed.
One of the things we did while in Portland was visit the Eutectic Gallery: Contemporary Ceramics which is hosting two really great shows right now. In the main gallery they have an exhibit titled "Pattern" which showcases some well known artist who do some great work with surface decoration. A trip to the gallery shows you some very beautiful pieces by Adam Field, Kat Hutter & Roger Lee, Forrest Lesch-Middelton, Roberto Lugo, Alex Matisse, Ken Standhardt, and John Vigeland.
The gallery is hosting a mid-show reception on November 6, 2015 from 6 - 9pm. If you're in Portland you should stop by the Eutectic Gallery. I'm sure you'll enjoy the show.
The gallery was also hosting an event celebrating craft beers and pottery. To quote their website:
That event closed on Halloween but it looks like GrowlerFest will be happening in other cities. I'm hoping they bring it to Atlanta, we have some great craft breweries here.

Experience the handcrafted quality of art and craft beer from both coasts, as we celebrate the growler as a functional art form. Portland Growler Company, Eutectic Gallery, Lardo,Culmination Brewing, Sixpoint Brewing (Brooklyn, NY), and Project Art (Cummington, Massachusetts) have come together to help you think about growlers in a whole new way! 15+ ceramic artists from all over the world have designed limited edition PGC growlers, plus Phoenix based artist Bradley Klem has hand thrown his take on the growlers, throwing 2 for each artist’s design.I wasn't able to be there for the tasting event but I really enjoyed seeing the growlers and how the different artists decorated them.

Looks like you had a great trip! Sometimes it's good to get away even if the timing isn't right.
ReplyDeleteYes, we did and yes, you’re right. It’s good to come back to something renewed and refreshed.
Deletewhat a great trip you had, when I was a traveling photography I used to visit plant nurseries since I was also a landscaper, now I like to visit galleries and plant nurseries in cities I visit. Ha.
ReplyDeleteWow Linda, you’ve had a lot of careers.
DeleteI like visiting botanical gardens and galleries when I travel too.
