Brown Bag Lunch
Brown Bag is a free event that feature informal presentations and discussions on the first and third Tuesday noons of each month. This week features “Ceramics 101” with James Tingey, Studio Technician at the LH Ceramics Project in Joseph. Tingey, a native of Corvallis, Oregon, is a ceramic artist whose work explores ideas of utility, process, material and landscape. He received his BS from Oregon State, and a Master’s of Fine Art with a concentration in Ceramics from Ohio University in 2012, Tingey has exhibited widely in over 60 nationally juried and invitational shows, and received awards from Strictly Functional Pottery National and Studio Potter Magazine, among others. Prior to joining the LH project, he served as Studio Technician and Instructor of Ceramics and Sculpture at Brookhaven College in Dallas, Texas.
The current exhibit at the Josephy center features work by Tingey and several other ceramics artists, along with paintings by LH founder Jacob Hassflacher. The exhibit and the timing for this Brown Bag match the Center’s new emphasis on ceramics. A dedicated ceramics studio is now being built, and ceramics classes for adults and young Wallowa County students are growing. Tingey will explain some of the basics, and use the show to comment on the range of work that goes on in the field; throwing and hand building; different ways of finishing and firing; cultural roots and uses of pottery.
