As we begin to prepare for the 2015 season at
Lost RiverArtisans’ Co-op and I continue to haul Kahoka pots to
OASIS in Harrisonburg, I
think it is time to say a bit about other galleries in which my pots are
available. In each place there is someone special who values and sells them,
for which I am very appreciative!
My handbuilt stoneware has been available for many years at
Riverview Gallery in historic Havre de Grace, Maryland. There Tam Sticker, an
incredibly talented artist herself, runs a gallery in the lobby of an old
building that houses numerous other businesses. True to the area, the gallery comes
complete with wallpaper borders of duck decoys, which are a staple in Havre de
Grace. Riverview is at 224 North Washington Street. You can learn all about it
at
www.riverviewgallerymd.net. In the amazing visuals on that website,
you will see Kahoka pots in every image! It is an intriguing town and well
worth a visit where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Spring IS
coming! Give it some thought!
Another fascinating Mid-Atlantic setting for my pottery is
the
Michael B. Tusing Gallery in Staunton, Virginia. The Frame Shop is in the
lower floor of the old mansion; the gallery is on the second floor. Michael is
described as a “dealer of refined and eclectic sensibility,” which is perfect!
When he first proposed some years ago that I sell Kahoka pots at his gallery
and I laid eyes on that delightful Victorian dwelling, I had my doubts! Kahoka
pots are rustic, if anything ever was, and the Tusing Gallery would thrill my
grandmother’s dazzling Victorian sense of style. But Michael
loves eclectic and he surely knows how to make it work! The gallery is at 21
North Market Street, just below Mary Baldwin College.
Check it out at
www.tusinggallery.com and give yourself a day exploring another wonderful historic setting.
I feel privileged that the artists at Riverview Gallery and
the Michael B. Tusing Gallery welcome my pottery from way back in a hollow deep
in the West Virginia hills. I love being in each of these galleries, and I know
you would too!
