SUMMARY:Pottery Exhibition Featuring Imperfect Tense
DESCRIPTION:Hugger Mugger Brewing presents a Pottery Exhibition featuring Imperfect Tense! \nImperfect Tense is the name Stephen Tucker gives to his pottery venture\, as he likes to say – I was stressing\, so I began making pottery.\nThis free exhibition begins on Friday\, April 3rd as part of the First Friday festivities and continues on Saturday\, April 4th. All pottery is both on display and for sale\, the potter will be available to connect on his work and share information about individual pieces. \nStephen is a self-taught potter who found his voice before he found labels. His style starts with intuitive iterations of Kurinuki—hollowing and carving a lump of clay without a wheel\, slabs\, coils\, or pinching—are used for almost all vessels. Departures from tradition often include carving while the clay is wet. \nAll clay is local. Most glazes are his own adaptations\, applied with shape\, texture\, and color in mind. Pieces are food-safe unless noted.\nThis intimate attention creates objects imbued with texture and feeling\, with process embodied in product. Each piece is unique.\nEngaging and tactile\, functional and artistic\, Imperfect Tense Pottery loves being handled with thoughtful intent.
