[Ferrin Gallery] Artist Focus: Richard Notkin

Richard Notkin Visiting Artist: Museum of Glass RSS Blogger Facebook Ferrin Gallery Richard Notkin, Helena, MT - is a visiting artist at the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA through August 16.  Notkin, a full-time studio artist who has worked primarily with ceramics for nearly forty years is perhaps best known for his series of unglazed stoneware teapots, inspired by the Yixing wares of China (circa 1500 AD to present), but consciously maintaining a separate cultural identity. While in the Hot Shop, Notkin plans to “continue my bent for strong social/political commentary which would best be actualized in the transparent medium of glass.” Conversation with the Artist: August 16, 2 pm Click here for link to visiting artist program Click here for link to live action video feed 10 - 5:00 PST Send Richard comments to be read live while he is in the shop.
