Ceramic Art is one of the oldest art forms of civilization.
The hand made Ceramic Arts includes pottery & sculpture, both
of which are formed from soft earth. Clay is shaped into vessels for
pottery and endless forms for sculpture. Air dried clay objects are
fired in a kiln, a chamber that heats the clay to over 1000 degrees
F (up to 2400oF) transforming it into a stone-like material known
as ceramic.
The ceramic art form has been developing since the dawn of civilization
when people began to discover clays’ hidden capabilities. Throughout
the ancient world and right into modern times, the ceramic arts have
benefited our world with beauty, function and innovation.
Today, contemporary ceramic artists continue to root their work in
ancestral traditions, while applying 21st century technology, guided
by a personal aesthetic vision. Brenda McMahon is one such artist
at Blue Moon Clay Studios in Greenwich, New York. Brenda produces
fine saggar fired porcelain vases, urns, and tiles.
The ceramic art found at Blue Moon Clay Studio is all hand made and
one-of-a-kind, in both porcelain and stoneware clays. The artist runs
this small studio and ceramic art gallery in the Upper Hudson River
Valley of New York’s Washington County. Blue Moon Clay Studio
offers classes in the ceramic arts as well as a small gallery &
sculpture garden at the 6-acre location, which is just 14 miles east
of Saratoga Springs, NY.
