Ceramics September at the Turtle Gallery opens Sept. 3, featuring Sequoia Miller, Lynn Duryea, Paul Heroux and many others
“Anchored by the work of Sequoia Miller, Lynn Duryea, and Paul Heroux, “Ceramics September” is a superb showcase of some of today’s most brilliant and inventive craft artists. Hats off to the Turtle Gallery for devoting quality gallery time to this art form. Ceramic art is alive and thriving in Deer Isle.”
–Carl Little, writer and poet
Sequoia Miller’s subtle glazes on 59 hand-built components of “Cityscape” are available to collectors in newly created groups. These lidded vessels were originally shown at the Bellevue Art Museum in an impactful single group. Lynn Duryea’s slab constructed terra cotta forms showcase her unique talent for serious yet colorful pieces. Duryea is a founding member of the Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts. The Turtle Gallery will contribute 10% of sales from this show to
Watershed.
A former instructor at Bates College, Watershed, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Paul Heroux’s large scale platters and folded vases decorated with a patchwork of glazing techniques and graphic transfers show a dynamic presence of natural and occasionally controversial themes.Also included are clay works by Scott Goldberg, Sharon Townshend, Nancy Nevergole,
Lucy Breslin, Mark Johnson, Marcia Kola, Aby Milner, Katherine Hackl, Elizabeth Louden, Barbara Sullivan and others.
