Current Show: Reaching 2350º
Reaching 2350º features pieces from Chester County ceramicist Jackie Henisee. She creates her pottery both in her home studio in Malvern, and at a local studio in Chester Springs, where she wood-fires in a kiln she helped build with an community of fellow ceramic artists. Her work, characterized by natural forms and surface treatments, is brought to life through a variety of firing techniques. The wood firing process is the technique she is most drawn to, where the interplay of flame, ash, and salt adds a unique, spontaneous quality to each piece. All are invited to explore her pieces in the Crawford Campus Center Gallery now through Friday, April 4.
"EA's gallery gives a finished sense to the hours spent in the studio by providing a unique space in which work can be widely appreciated."
