Plates & Platters Salon Style

Plates & Platters Salon Style is a group exhibition featuring the work of over 80 artists from across the United States. The exhibition explores one of the most basic forms that potters make, the plate, celebrating the vast aesthetic range of expression possible in the creation of a singular form. Dessert plates, salad plates, dinner plates and serving platters will all be included.

The exhibited plates truly exemplify ceramist’s endless approach to the creation of this form using entirely ceramic processes. Fabrication techniques include wheel throwing, hand building and slip casting using terra cotta, stoneware and porcelain clay bodies. Surface decoration is created through the use of slips and glazes fired at a variety of temperatures, both low and high. All of the plates will be hung salon style, an installation method where the plates will be hung on the wall side by side, one on top of another creating a dialogue from piece to piece.
