New Online: Kurt Anderson
Okay, these glazed/painted weirdos are making whatever day this is a little more fun!! I mean, do other people have a character that they think shows just how they feel at specific times?? because, these bizarre, stressed, angst-ridden drawings by our good friend Kurt Anderson just fits the bill to a T. I’ve been a bit on edge these past few weeks and now that I’ve got a whole ceramic menagerie to relate to - it definitley feels just a little bit better. Plus, I LOVE the company…
So thank you, Kurt - for whatever these creations of yours represent in my own psyche (and probably a whole lot of other people's as well).
Featured Artist: Ken Sedberry
We just got a whole lot of animals, mugs, and plates from another neighbor and friend - Ken Sedberry!
And they are the epitome of juiciness - with their multi-layered glazes, high-fired surfaces, and slightly abstracted animals, insects, and fish…. It so fits the bill for all you sculptural lovers and those who want functional ware. And, as a high-temp wood-fire lover, it sure hits my sweet spot as well!
The variety of patterning that Peter Karner can create on each and every glorious piece of his functional ware is astounding!
All that precision and his consistent color palette just brings it all together. We just received a load of pieces from Peter, and his craftsmanship and professionalism just make our gallery-owning hearts sing!
Seeing the newest work by one of my ceramic heroes; Mark Peters, is definitely a special surprise. He was the very first Ceramic Art Network demonstration video I’d ever seen - and he was simply amazing in it. And once we moved to Bakersville and found I found out that Mark was a local, I was on cloud 9. Well, just a couple of weeks ago, Mark called me and said he was dropping some work off at our home, and now, we get to present it to you all.
I know you can’t tell from an image just how great these feel, or how light they are, and just how wonderful to have a Mark Peters pitcher in your hands…but trust me, all those things are there as well.
So thank you Mark!! and your collectors thank you as well!!
Before becoming a ceramic artist and teacher, Ron Meyers worked as a graphic designer, and he continued drawing throughout his entire career. His 2D work is loose, expressive, and full of character. Many of his creatures are playful caricatures of people he’s met or worked with over the years. He also loved portraying himself as a rat.

My wife Silvia and I have only been in the gallery business for just over five years now (plus two more years spent managing Crimson Laurel Gallery). It wasn’t something either of us had a background in or even considered when thinking about a career or starting a business, but like many things that happen in life, it just happened. (…)
