Out of the Blue
February 1-22, 2013

juried by Trey Hill

Blue describes a color, a state of mind, and a musical style. Blue is the colour of light between violet and green on the visible spectrum, is commonly used to describe melancholy, is traditionally associated with the sea and the sky, is the most common color of business suits, and is the shade of our favorite jeans. In ceramics, cobalt is one of our most potent colorants, used in glazes to make colors ranging from blues to purples to greys and blacks. Out of the Blue, sponsored by the Clay Studio of Missoula, is a juried exhibition showcasing ceramic work that addresses “blue.”

Write, Erase, Age(or not), Repeat.

Last year, I started fumbling around with a design idea for Wu Xing Design Company as an extension (and requirement) of a three month residency at their studio in Danshui, Taiwan.  Please read this post, and then this one to see the development until this point.  The "Ears Vase" is based on a historical Chinese design, but I added a special aspect of user interaction with the glaze to bring it into the 21st. After many many many glaze tests - we've found the celadon that does the thing!

The "thing" is, the more you draw on the vase, the more celadon cracks show up. Eventually it will look like the original historic vase. You can store the dry-erase markers in the "ears" of the vase(it will be packaged with 2 black markers with felt erasers attached to the cap). For those of you who want to preserve a pristine surface and white-board look, there is a version with a bright white, no crackle surface for your doodling pleasure (left). 

We are working on the packaging design, and will definitely let you know when it's available for purchase.  To inquire more about price, availability, etc., contact Wu Xing Design Studio directly.
