April 2nd CAG Member Meeting: Connie Norman

 DON'T MISS THE APRIL 2ND CAG MEMBER MEETING
CONNIE NORMAN 
PRESENTING A FASCINATING PROGRAM ABOUT HER POTTERY
MEETING STARTS AT 7PM



Connie Norman is known for her painstakingly and beautiful pottery.  Armed with pieces of movable type she presses each letter individually into the clay. She constructs each piece with a combination of handbuilt techniques. Norman’s glazing process continues the meticulous process by cutting out each design from masking tape.


Connie creates ceramic work that is about inner dialogue--stories from her life, snippets of conversation, and memories that she imagines. She is fascinated by the rhythmic qualities created by color, texture, and patterns. Decoration is essential because it celebrates and enhances form and speaks purely of aesthetics.

Norman’s work has been shown internationally and has been published in Ceramics Monthly, Pottery Making Illustrated, and 500 Vases.
She is also a Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Fellowship recipient, and she received a Wyoming Art Council Visual Art Fellowship.  She is a graduate of the New York State of Ceramics at Alfred University.
