IMoDD\u2019s exhibition, <em>Entomophagous Dining<\/em>, investigates and celebrates through artistic and design efforts, the sculptural and functional aspects of eating insects.&nbsp; The exhibition is a partnership with the Washtenaw County Historical Society\u2019s Museum on Main Street and the exhibit is on view April 8 through August 26, 2023 at 500 N. Main Street by appointment or weekends noon-4 p.m.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as predicted, the participating artists either embraced dining on insects as one source for feeding world populations or they clearly indicated their devotion to the sanctity of enjoying (without consuming) the natural world, complete with butterflies, beetles, bees, and such.&nbsp; You\u2019ll have to investigate yourself whether or not a few artists were ambiguous in the messages conveyed by the artwork in this exhibition.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are sixty pieces in the exhibition, including a few examples from the IMoDD permanent collection, among these is artwork by Pamela Argentieri, William Brouillard, Janel Jacobson, and Autumn Higgins. Invited artists include William Brouillard, L\u00e9opold Foulem, Julia Galloway, Roberta Griffith, Linda Huey, Janel Jacobson, Lynette Lewis, Linda Lighton, Kirk Mangus, Sherrie Miller, Farraday Newsome, Linda Sikora, Debbie Thompson, Mary Underwood, and Suzanne Wolfe.&nbsp; The juried artists were selected from the many applicants by juror Mary Jo Bole. They include Kristen Applegate, Elias Betchik, Carolyn Blazeck, Nancy Bulkley, Amanda Bury, Elizabeth Coleman, Shaun Fera, Marty Huehner, Janet Kelman, Marina Kuchinski, Cara Jean McCarthy, Jillian McEvoy,&nbsp; Sue O\u2019Connor, Jerri Puerner, Allen Samuels, Pamela Segers, and Robin Wilt. Seventeen U.S. states and Canada are represented in this exhibition, in which participation is limited to residents of North America. However, one international invited artist, Lynette Lewis, &nbsp;lives in Australia and comes from a tradition where eating insects is a special occasion. There is a rich selection of materials that comprises the composition of the artwork in this special exhibition . In addition to ceramics, other media include glass, metal, pine needles, and the fiber arts.&nbsp; The four artists who received awards were chosen by the juror, artist Mary Jo Bole. The awards were funded through the generosity of Jiffy Mix, Chelsea Milling, of Chelsea, Michigan and the International Museum of Dinnerware Design.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to artistic explorations of humans throughout various cultures and other mammals and amphibians dining on insects and receiving protein nourishment and enjoying culinary delights, other nostalgic related topics are presented.&nbsp; This includes the science-driven tradition of catching butterflies, beetles, and grasshoppers and pinning them inside cardboard cigar boxes.&nbsp; Could this be viewed as a potential \u201cmenu\u201d at a restaurant where the server brings such a collection to ones table and one points at the cicada as the cuisine you wish to enjoy for luncheon, like a diner might choose her own fish or lobster out of a tank?&nbsp; And what about the old plastic ant \u201cfarm.\u201d&nbsp; Is this so different than insects being \u201cfarmed\u201d today and harvested commercially for public consumption?&nbsp; Rather than observing the social relationships occurring in the vintage transparent plastic ant farm, one could be witnessing farming on a small scale in the home or classroom.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is a bee hive box not a bee hive box?&nbsp; When it\u2019s used as a pedestal for artwork in <em>Entomophagous Dining<\/em>! We may be looking for someone to adopt some new bee hive boxes when the exhibition closes in late August\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the lens of this exhibition, artists can additionally be viewed as vegans, social activists, environmentalists, visionaries, and nature lovers. Sometimes their artwork suggests their viewpoint and other times it helps to simply read the artist statements and brief biographies that accompany the visuals.&nbsp; One artist included a recipe for crickets in a pasta dish. One artist played with the concept of combining fast food with eating insects such as meal worms. A jeweler created beautiful tools specifically for <em>mindfully&nbsp;<\/em>dining on insects.&nbsp; Insect designs were hand-drawn, painted, sculpted, ready-made commercial decals, stamped, and even treated as though they were old butcher shop meat cutting diagrams. Dishes became sculptural. Butterflies became endangered.&nbsp; One artist explored dinnerware created for uninvited guests. She envisioned the uninvited guest having a dining experience \u201cthat might be dark and comical for a dinner party.\u201d I decided I didn\u2019t want to be her uninvited guest, but I do want to be present. I was also thinking about that uninvited guest being an uninvited pest (i.e., an insect?). I hope this exhibit makes you go \u201cyum\u201d and \u201cyuck\u201d and think about the topic seriously and with a sense of humor.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Margaret Carney<br>April 2023<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h1 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Line Catalogue<\/h1>\r\n<p>For inquiries about purchases, please email<a href=\"mailto:director@dinnerwaremuseum.org\"> director@dinnerwaremuseum.org<\/a>.<br>Prices do not include shipping.<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Kristen Applegate<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juried Second Prize Award<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6232 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes2-300x229.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes2-300x229.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes2-1024x781.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes2-768x586.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes2-1007x768.jpeg 1007w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes2.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6231\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes-300x210.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"326\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes-300x210.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes-1024x718.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes-768x539.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes-1095x768.jpeg 1095w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Kristen-Applegate-moon-cakes.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Moon Cakes<\/em>, 2022 <br>ceramic <br>H: 8\u201d L: 12\u201d W: 12\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a clay artist, I am inspired by the intersection of technology and traditional craftsmanship. My work often uses humor to make playful yet thought-provoking statements about the consumption of animals, insects, and even humans as food. Sometimes this takes the form of creating AI images that become actual or projected surface decoration for dinnerware. Other times I use kitchen gadgets, bakeware, and candy-making equipment to create food-oriented work suggesting the macabre. My goal is to challenge views on food and consumption, and to spark conversation about the ethical and ecological implications of our dietary choices. Using humor and irony I aim to create pieces that are not only visually striking, but that also suggest a narrative.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristen Applegate, an Assistant Professor and the Art Education Program Coordinator at Lander University, has dedicated over two decades to the field of art education.

I spend my days making worms out of copper as part of an ongoing production line of earrings. I walk through my local parks looking for invasive insects, such as the emerald ash boring beetle or the more and more common spotted lantern fly, equipped with a jar to catch, freeze, and later pin them or use their bodies in less traditional jewelry. I eat bugs when I can too, though the scarcity of edible insect options in the United States is hard to overcome without counteracting any environmental good that entomophagy does by shipping cans of insects across the world. I made this fork and knife to eat bugs with. They were initially modeled after meat carving tools, though the two-tined design of the fork is the main element that carried through to the final piece. The handles of the flatware are the usual size of dining utensils but the working ends taper to miniaturized heads. I want the user to eat with care; not only will the fork not support large bites, but the presence of the knife prompts further portioning of the bug. I personally believe in thinking about what you are putting in your mouth as you do it. Whether mammal, bird, fish or insect, forgetting or disguising the meat you eat can only lead to disregarding the life of the animal and the impact of its death and further processing into food.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eli Betchik is a jeweler obsessed with invertebrates. Through her work in silver, gold, copper, gemstones, and the occasional dead bug body part she explores the forms of insects, arachnids, myriapods, and annelids. Betchik graduated with a degree in Jewelry and Metalworking from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2021 and has shown work in various gallery shows around the northeast Ohio Area. Aside from bugs, Betchik takes inspiration from various natural and\/or macabre sources including mold, Victorian mourning jewelry, and lichen.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her artistic practice dances between the creation of memorial jewelry on commission, making realistic copper earthworms for a production jewelry line, and the creation of art jewelry with nontraditional and vibrant materials.<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Carolyn Blazeck<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juried<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-dragonfly-platter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6236 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-dragonfly-platter-300x247.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-dragonfly-platter-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-dragonfly-platter-1024x843.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-dragonfly-platter-768x632.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-dragonfly-platter-933x768.jpg 933w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-dragonfly-platter.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Dragonfly Platter<\/em>, 2022 <br>stoneware, pine needles <br>H: 2.5\u201d L: 14.25\u201d W: 11.75\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6237 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter-256x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter-875x1024.jpg 875w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter-768x899.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter-656x768.jpg 656w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter-923x1080.jpg 923w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Carolyn-Blazeck-stag-beetle-platter.jpg 1094w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Stag Beetle Platter<\/em>, 2022 <br>stoneware, pine needles <br>H: 2.25\u201d L: 13.25\u201d W: 11.75\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I enjoy creating art that combines the techniques of drawing, sculpture, and mixed media. I hand build my pottery and use the sgraffito technique to carve the pots surface. This process reveals the white clay underneath the black underglaze. Pine needle weaving is added to lids and rims to create textural contrast.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My artwork is inspired by the beauty of the intricate, natural world around me. I try to translate the joy I feel when I\u2019m in nature through rhythmic, organic imagery. Realistic and imagined elements are designed to transport the viewer to a garden where a closer look between the interlaced plants and flowers reveals a hidden world.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My ceramic work reflects my background in 2 dimensional art. I love to use pattern and contrast to create a harmonious visual rhythm that flows around the pot&#8217;s surface. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1984, but did not pursue a career in art until my children were older. I re-entered the art world with a Teacher Certification and Master of Art Education from Towson University. Teaching art and design to high schoolers set a course for the images I produce today. Being an avid nature lover and birdwatcher continually provides inspiration for the pots I make.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I live and work in Bel Air, Maryland where I handbuild pots and embellish them with sgraffito and pine needle weaving. I continue to focus on combining drawing and sculpture in my work.<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>William Brouillard<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invited<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6316\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev-1151x768.jpeg 1151w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev-210x140.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev-272x182.jpeg 272w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-beetle-with-cup-Rev.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Beetle de jour <\/em>dinner plate with rolled edge and insect imagery in blue <br>wheel thrown and trimmed, porcelain fired to cone 6 with overglaze decal fired to cone 018, part of a plate &amp; cup setting <br>H: 2\u201d Diam: 12\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Bug<\/em> cup with handle and overglaze insect images <br>slip cast porcelain fired to cone 6 oxidation with a clear glaze and fired to cone 018 with a blue overglaze decal insect image <br>H: 3.5\u201d L: 5\u201d W: 3\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6315\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev-1151x768.jpeg 1151w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev-210x140.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev-272x182.jpeg 272w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/blue-grasshopper-with-cup-Rev.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Grasshopper<\/em> dinner plate with rolled edge and insect imagery in blue <br>wheel thrown and trimmed, porcelain fired to cone 6 with overglaze decal fired to cone 018, part of a plate &amp; cup setting <br>H: 2\u201d Diam: 12\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Grasshopper Cup<\/em> with handle and over glaze insect images <br>slip cast porcelain fired to cone 6 oxidation with a clear glaze and fired to cone 018 with a blue overglaze decal insect image <br>H: 3.5\u201d L: 5\u201d W: 3\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These place settings are 2<sup>nd<\/sup> generation iterations of a collaborative, NCECA tableware\/furniture exhibition, scheduled for 2020 that never happened.

I completed a MFA at Alfred University in 1976 and traveled to North Carolina and was a resident craftsman at the Penland School. After several years as a studio potter I taught ceramics at ETSU for a year and then returned to Penland School where I worked and taught till 1980.&nbsp; I currently live in Lakewood, Ohio and have a studio in the old steel-making district of Cleveland.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before this show my only known experience eating insects was when I dared my brother to eat a pill bug.&nbsp; We must have been elementary school age, in the back yard, and I remember feeling a bit of pride and accomplishment that I had succeeded in getting my older brother to eat a pill bug.&nbsp; A pill bug no less, that ancient critter that would reliably curl into a ball when you picked it up and would scurry around with so many legs under logs.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This show sent me on wonderful searches learning about and looking at insects.&nbsp; I made drawings and then carved clay stamps of insects that somewhere in the world people eat.&nbsp; Along the way I came across the potter wasp that looks just like us making a coil pot as it builds a vessel of earth to lay an egg in.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I was learning about bugs and people eating bugs I thought I ought to try some myself.&nbsp; The most approachable was to find some cricket powder and add it to the energy bars I make.&nbsp; I told almost no one when I first did it.&nbsp; Some people were intrigued, others confused with repulsed facial expressions.&nbsp; The powder was innocuous, though I had to get over some mental hurdles as I ate it.&nbsp; If nothing else it made me want to become a vegan and not eat any beings.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This show is very provocative, it has made me think about how socialized we are in how we regard food.&nbsp; Shrimp, often seen as a special treat, does not look that different from a pill bug.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nancy Bulkley received her BFA

My artistic practice quietly conveys my interest in the complex systems of culture, ethics, commerce, history, ritual, community and environment found within the realm of food production.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The formal language of my work is rooted in the growth patterns of nature. Geometric facets provide structure for color-blocked backdrops of abstracted crop field landscapes. Meandering parallel lines play at aerial viewed plow rows in soil or as a visual language for the vast distances our food often travels. Bold images inspired by personal experiences in nature, botanical\/scientific illustrations, and vintage seed catalogs or packets occupy the foreground.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My image library includes pollinators, to whom we owe much of our food supply; tools\/implements which reference the human hand in our agricultural system; and a vast variety of food and medicinal plants. Images are chosen for specific works based on associations to the form or function of the pot. I consciously choose to not dissect the part of the plant familiar to our kitchens from the natural whole. Through abstraction and quiet association my work brings a broad focus to the food on your plate. Serving as a reminder of the joy and wonders to be found in nature, our vital place within it, and our responsibility to care for it.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amanda grew up in the Pacific Northwest part of the U.S. She is a lover of the outdoors, and remains forever influenced by her time working summer gigs on farms. She received a Bachelors of Art in Studio Art and a Bachelors of Art in Anthropology from Central Washington University. She then went on to pursue Post-Baccalaureate study in Ceramics at the University of Montana.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her practice is nourished by time spent in her own garden and she is a big advocate for supporting your local farmer. Amanda&#8217;s work pays homage to our food origins and the marvelously complex and deeply flawed systems which get food from the ground to our tables everyday. Amanda has served as an artist in residence at The Morean Center for Clay in Saint Petersburg, Florida and Belger Crane Yard Studios in Kansas City, Missouri. She is now working as a full time studio artist. She regularly shows in invitational and national juried exhibitions.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Elizabeth Coleman<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juried<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/08-Elizabeth-Coleman-Buffalo-China-bug-sets.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6243\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/08-Elizabeth-Coleman-Buffalo-China-bug-sets-300x170.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/08-Elizabeth-Coleman-Buffalo-China-bug-sets-300x170.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/08-Elizabeth-Coleman-Buffalo-China-bug-sets-1024x582.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/08-Elizabeth-Coleman-Buffalo-China-bug-sets-768x436.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/08-Elizabeth-Coleman-Buffalo-China-bug-sets.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Bugomania Breakfast<\/em>, 2023 <br>Vintage Buffalo China, commercial decals <br>9\u201d x 18\u201d x 12\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anne Sammons <br>Buffalo plaid place mat <br>She raised the sheep, spun and dyed the wool, wove the placemats&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was a child, I would dissect grasshoppers and crickets, pinning their legs, heads, and thoraxes to cardboard.

Elizabeth received an MFA from Ohio State University and a BFA in ceramics and glass from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She has also studied at Penland School of Craft, Pilchuck Glass School, and Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts. Elizabeth has been a resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center and the International Ceramics Studio in Kecskem\u00e9t, Hungary. She has received a 2010 Jerome Foundation Ceramic Artist Project Grant and a fiscal year 2017 Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB).

I am fascinated how the mantis navigates such a harsh environment with its fragile mechanical state.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mantis collection is also part of a larger project that I am currently working on: Dinnerware for uninvited guests. The premise is dinnerware that is not the most ergonomic. Thus creating a dining experience that might be dark and comical for a dinner party.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My choice to work with such delicate materials; porcelain clay and celadon glaze embodies the nature of the mantis and sleek design of the root bowl.&nbsp; Once the kiln firing process is complete, the final product is one of the strongest and most enduring.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaun Fera is a ceramic artist &amp; educator in Richmond Virginia.

I lived in Mexico and Spain for extended amounts of time. I appreciate and eat all kinds of food, from pig\u2019s knuckles to chicken feet and fish-eyes. I have chosen to represent mealworms for a variety of reasons. Mealworms probably originated in the Mediterranean area or Africa. Their consumption may be traced to the Bronze Age in Turkey. They are probably one of the first insects a person will try to eat. Mealworms have been around as pet food and feed for insectivores, birds, as well as fishing bait, for years. They are used for scientific research. Mealworms are not an independent animal species or even worms: the mealworm is the second stage in the lifecycle of a beetle. They are also pests because they grow so easily in stored grains. The United Nations estimate that one quarter of the world\u2019s population eat insects as part of their standard diet. Mealworms provide fantastic nutrients, such as protein and iron. Not only that, but they taste great (if you\u2019re a fan of roasted nuts). Insect farming, which can be carried out in an urban environment, utilizes smaller amounts of land, water and feed when compared to meat production, and produces far fewer greenhouse gases. The idea of creating a ceramic installation, \u201cThe Daily Special\u201d, using mealworms in an approximation of fast food in the USA, one of the few countries where insects are not consumed as part of our daily food menu, appeals to me, especially because it is a direction in which we must eventually find a way to embrace.Overall, we are going to have to find sources of food in the USA that do not contaminate our environment.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roberta Griffith, BFA 1960, Chouinard Art Institute, Los Angeles, CA, USA, MFA 1962, SIU-Carbondale, Carbondale, IL, USA.

At Hiram College in NE OH, Marty earned a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Biology and then earned his Ph. D. in parasitology with minors in ecology and geology at the U. of Cincinnati.&nbsp; He taught at Rockhurst College in Kansas City, MO and then returned to teach at Hiram College in biology and environmental studies&nbsp;for 28 years. During this time, Marty took undergraduate art courses and specialized in ceramics; he completed his art major in 2000 and then entered the Master of Visual Arts program at the Australian National University where he studied ceramics and environmental art and took advantage of a three-week exchange program to study printmaking at Kyoto Seika University in Japan.

I began making pottery in 1970 and started life as a self-employed potter in 1972 after graduation from college. From then I made useful stoneware pots until I began to focus on carved porcelain in the mid 1980\u2019s. That work evolved from shallow relief carved surfaces enhanced with celadon glaze to more sculptural, unglazed, pieces which brought me to the brink of a great shift from porcelain clay to hard, to carving hard, carvable wood. From 1995 to 2015 I enjoyed a marvelous, enriching period of carving small sculptures and netsuke from wood and other delicious non-clay materials. After the twenty-year deep affair with wood, I returned to making pots full time in 2016 using porcelain for useful pots, and for further exploration of shallow-relief, decorative surfaces with celadon based glazes, tenmoku and lively carbon-trapping shino glazes.<\/p>\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Janel Jacobson<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IMoDD permanent collection<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janel-Jacobson-celadon-box-e1680742525435.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6275\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janel-Jacobson-celadon-box-e1680742525435-300x220.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"409\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janel-Jacobson-celadon-box-e1680742525435-300x220.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janel-Jacobson-celadon-box-e1680742525435-1024x751.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janel-Jacobson-celadon-box-e1680742525435-768x563.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janel-Jacobson-celadon-box-e1680742525435-1047x768.jpeg 1047w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Janel-Jacobson-celadon-box-e1680742525435.jpeg 1091w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Peeper &amp; Mayfly<\/em> lidded round porcelain box with pale celadon glaze and carved tree frog and Mayfly in grasses, 1992&nbsp; <br>porcelain, carved, with celadon glaze <br>H:&nbsp; 1.25\u201d Diam: 4.5\u201d <br>2022.146 Museum Purchase<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Janet Kelman<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juried<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6250 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz-298x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"298\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz-298x300.jpeg 298w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz-1017x1024.jpeg 1017w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz-768x773.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz-763x768.jpeg 763w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/013-Janet-Kelman-Forshpeiz.jpeg 1044w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>FORSHPEIZ<\/em>, 2023 <br>glass <br>H: 1.375\u201d L: 9.875\u201d W: 9.875\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n<p>Insects have crept their way into my work for the last ten years.

After the rain when the ground is soft the women go digging for&nbsp;<em>tjala<\/em>&nbsp;by&nbsp;looking for the drill holes under the mulga trees. They then use shovels and crowbars to dig down following the tunnels to find the&nbsp;<em>tjala<\/em>&nbsp;inside. Anangu suck the delicious rich honey-like liquid from the distended abdomen of the&nbsp;<em>tjala<\/em>. The story of the&nbsp;<em>tjala<\/em>&nbsp;is told across the Northern Territory into South Australia and is an important link between Anangu mythology and inter-dependence on the environment.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lynette Lewis has&nbsp;fast&nbsp;become one of Ernabella Art&#8217;s leading artists.&nbsp;She began as an Aboriginal Arts Worker at Ernabella Arts in 2015 when her children were in their final years of school.&nbsp;Prior to this, Lynette had&nbsp;made tjanpi (weaving) at home and years earlier had created a suite of prints at the art centre.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2015 Lynette participated in two workshops leading up to the exhibition at Sabbia Gallery in Sydney &#8211; <em>Yangupala Tjuta Waakarinyi (Many Young People Working). <\/em>She then attended the Australian Ceramics Triennale in Canberra with three other artists and demonstrated at the Sabbia Gallery exhibition that toured to the Australian National Botanical Gardens Gallery.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2015 Lynette participated in a contemporary jewelery workshop with jeweller Mel Young at Ernabella as part of the Indigenous Jewelery Project. She created exceptional resin and traditional seed necklaces during the workshop, and she was selected as a finalist in the National Contemporary Jewellery Award at Griffith Regional Gallery. &nbsp;Also in&nbsp;2016, Lynette worked alongside seven other Ernabella women to create a collaborative ceramics installation for the Indigenous Ceramics Art Award at the Shepparton Art Museum. &nbsp;In 2016 Lynette&#8217;s work was acquired for the National Museum of Australia&#8217;s collection.&nbsp;In 2017 her work was presented in <em>Clay Stories: Contemporary Indigenous ceramics from remote Australia<\/em>at Sabbia Gallery. The exhibition began&nbsp;its national tour at JamFactory in Adelaide for the Tarnanthi: Festival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her first solo exhibition was&nbsp;<em>Mara ninti: Clever hands &#8211; Liritja (necklaces) by Lynette Lewis<\/em>&nbsp;and was presented at Craft ACT in 2017.&nbsp;Since then Lynette&#8217;s work has appeared in exhibitions across Australia and internationally, including the&nbsp;<em>Hold our connection to country strong for malatja-malatja (future generations)&nbsp;<\/em>exhibition at Aboriginal Signature gallery in Brussels in 2018 and then again in&nbsp;<em>Nganampa ngura-nguru nyurampa ngurakutu (From our place to your place)<\/em>&nbsp;at Aboriginal Signature in 2020.<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Linda Lighton<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invited<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6306\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1151x768.jpeg 1151w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-210x140.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-272x182.jpeg 272w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6305\" src=\"http:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1-1151x768.jpeg 1151w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1-210x140.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1-272x182.jpeg 272w, https:\/\/dinnerwaremuseum.org\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/Liinda-Lighton-Centerpiece-new-base-Jan-23-1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>The Entomophagous Leaf Pile<\/em>, 2023 <br>clay, glaze, lusters and china paint <br>H: 8\u201d L: 17\u201d W: 15\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">candlesticks <br>H: 6.25\u201d L: 4\u201d W: 3.75\u201d H: 4.25\u201d L: 6.25\u201d W: 4.5\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artist Statement<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s for dinner?

In addition to the worms interacting, I\u2019ve been experimenting with plants growing on and alter the vessels surface, and then spraying them with slip and glaze to preserve the effect of the plants.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the majority of my work, I am interested in initially using the potter\u2019s wheel to generate form, and then to alter these pieces to mimic qualities of the insects I am drawing inspiration from, or to create surfaces for those natural forces themselves to interact with. I appreciate participating in this \u201cmetamorphosis\u201d and transition from functional to sculptural during the making process. Whether that be transforming it into a piece that resembles the insect, or one that is changed due to the actual living creature, those progressions over time and records of those changes in the final product are what really draw me to these processes. I am drawn to the vessel because of the relationship between the interior and exterior, the potential for containment, the transition that occurs during the various ceramic processes, and because of my personal path as a ceramicist that began with an interest in functional pottery.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jillian McEvoy, born in 1997 in New Jersey, is a ceramic artist currently based in Massachusetts and grew up in New Jersey and New York.

Compared to the subtractive method of sculpture-making using a hard material like marble, terra cotta is malleable, moldable, and can be incised until it is fired and hardened. Since terra cotta is often associated with garden statuary and flower pots, it is the perfect material for Garden Party Luncheon&#8230;featuring blooms, leaves, beetles and bugs.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This piece was Inspired by the French sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (1824-1887), and his unglazed terra cotta sculpture Portrait of an Actress circa 1865-1870, in the Grand Rapids Art Museum.

The importance for selecting ceramics as my vehicle for a narrative approach is mainly due to its natural affinity. Ceramics allows me a method of documenting events, history, and experiences that in later years provides a personal story retold with a personal voice.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My work is both thrown on the potter\u2019s wheel and hand-built, processes that provide me with high degree of control and consequently, a great deal of enjoyment. I use white earthenware or porcelain clay. This offers me a white, smooth background to carry the surface decoration. Each work is decorated with all ceramic mediums. I am a purist and I enjoy the challenge to stay true to the art and workout solutions to technical problems that may arise. Each work is always decorated with airbrushed, and hand painted colored underglazes applied to the bisque ware, and then sprayed with a thin coat of clear glaze before being fired in an oxidizing atmosphere.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was born and raised in Atlanta, but I currently live in the Augusta, GA area. Before receiving my MFA in Ceramics from Georgia State University in 2004, I earned my BVA at Georgia State University in 1980 in Ceramics, Jewelry\/Silversmithing, and Education, and an AA degree at Oxford College of Emory University.&nbsp; I studied abroad at the Sanbo International Ceramic Institute in Jingdezhen, China in 2005; after winning an Artist Residency from the show, \u201cTaking Measure II \u2013 Celebrating 1000 Years of Porcelain in China\u201d.&nbsp; I exhibit my artwork nationally and internationally.

The summer house was furnished with fine porcelain from the Sevres Factory.&nbsp; The signature object in the porcelain collection was a cup made for drinking by holding it carefully in both hands.&nbsp; Inspired by the cup from Rambouillet, this version continues to acknowledge&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; the high value of porcelain by the lavish use of gold on the cup\u2019s interior.&nbsp; Butterflies adorn the interior, with the notion that as one drinks from the cup, they will flutter up, their wings softly brushing your face.&nbsp; So if it is true, that we are what we eat, then hopefully we will emerge you\u2019re your rigid cocoons and become as delicate and gentle as butterflies.<\/p>\r\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biography<\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suzanne Wolfe was born in Chicago, but has resided in Honolulu since 1971.&nbsp;
