Out of the Fire acknowledges the long and illustrious history of wood-fired clay and its popularity among today's ceramic artists. The earliest evidence of wood-fired clay is prehistoric and has been documented in sixth century Asia; its greatest popularity is found in Korea, China and Japan. Its popularity in American first grew in the early decades of the twentieth century. The exhibition, curated by Pfac Program Director Michael Preble, will include the work of Joe Bruhin (Arkansas), Brad McLemore (Virginia) and approximately ten other artists from across the country, with a focus on Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
