Visit the Art League of Ocean City!
The Clay Guild of the Eastern Shore is a group of potters who meet to exchange ideas and grown artistically. We started Clay-a-palooza in 2012 as a way to bring potters together, give them a space to sell work and to share our art with the public.
Starting June 3rd the Clay Guild of the Eastern Shore will have a month long gallery exhibition at the Art League of Ocean City in studio E. Artists include Marie Cavallero retired SU Ceramics professor, creates hand-built ceramics inspired by photographs she takes.
Dott Truitt uses stoneware clay with very colorful and exciting low fire glazes on hand built whimsical useful objects like bells and eye glass holders.
Her husband Bob Truitt also uses earthen ware clay to create tiles. The tiles can be found on picture frames, mirror frames and trivets.
Retired UMES professor Ernie Satchel makes large classically shaped wheel thrown pots and often finishes them in high fire reduction getting deep reds and earth tones.
Florence Kasden is inspired by kitchen ware her pottery is mainly designed for cooking and serving which echoes her enjoyment of entertaining. She finds joy in pottery and makes decorative items to enhance the home.
Joy Maxwell creates sculptural stoneware ceramics in organic and geometric forms.
Karen Bearman, current teacher at Hinkley Pottery in D.C. will be showing high-fire reduction wheel thrown porcelain ergonomic tumblers.
Mary Back is inspired by all things ocean, she creates mermaids, fish, sea horses and more.
Robert Johnson pushes the clay to extremes making voluptuous round bottles with tiny necks then uses alternative firing methods like horse and feather raku and saggar firings to finish his pots with archaeological-inspired results. He works with his wife Sarah Halcott and daughter Imma who also work with him in Amused Studios.
Imma likes to make fairy garden sculptures and glazes cups and bud vases for mommy and daddy.
Sarah carves intricate designs which are added to mugs that both she or Rob throw on the wheel. Sarah likes to grow crystals on the surfaces of clay which create spontaneous silver crystal formations with natural etherial compositions, she adds this effect to organic designs such as wall sconces, mugs and yunomis.
A vendors market will be set up in the main gallery the weekend of #Clayapalooza and various clay activities including free clay workshops for all ages, firing pots, watching pottery thrown on the wheel/ wet Clay sale, and horsehair/feather Raku!
