Held at Montgomery County Community College, 28 November 2007.
Alleghany Meadows has a website that details some of his activities as a studio
potter and gallery owner. He hails from the Aspen, Colorado, area and is interested in
exploring the nuances of form as he creates utilitarian pieces of great beauty and exquisite
craftsmanship.
The first frames show a selection of his finished work. A quick set-up in the students' ceramic
studio, the quality of the pieces is evident even though the less than optimum display and
photography is hardly flattering.
Much of the work is done in porcelain, although "Loafer's Glory," (Highwater) a smooth white
stoneware clay was used for this demo.
Immediately after the astounding pot luck lunch, we viewed slides of Alleghany's work and a few
shots of influential experiences in his life. Included were some shots of potters and potteries
in Japan and Nepal, places where he spent time studying and working as an apprentice.
