This months Ceramics Monthly magazine has a great feature on "Working Potters..." One if these Potters is living and working right here in Philadelphia!!
Naomi Cleary is the Gallery Assistant and NCECA Coordinator for The Clay Studio which is located in Old City. She also teaches Ceramics there, and sells her work in the shop.
The article featured in the magazine is a great piece written by the artist who is down to earth and real about living as an artist and being successful!! Naomi's witty character and valuable knowledge makes her a great resource in the young craft community here in Philly.
Here's what I mean:
"I have had varying experiences at craft fairs. Some have been great, with crowds that understand craft and the handmade object. One in particular still haunts me. I was placed next to a woman selling hand painted signs that read “Welcome to Margaritaville” and “Jersey girls don’t pump gas.” I did not return for the second day of selling."
