Works by Brian Gartside

"Polly the Potter"  Harris has spent several days demonstrating her  technique. Here she is creating a small "Mommy Pot" as seen in the lower right corner of the  right hand photo.
Brian Gartside was born and educated in England, lecturing and conducting classes throughout Australia, Great Britain, Canada, and the U.S. Gartside brings an entirely different aesthetic to the show. His work is more about color and texture than form and function. For over 40 years he has broken the rules for glazing and firing. A "painter in clay", Gartside works to produce unique crazing and textures, to push the normal color ranges of traditional glazes beyond their limits.

Here are some samples of his work
