Hillwood was the Washington residence of Marjorie Merriweather Post (1887-1973), cereal heiress, collector and philanthropist. Mrs. Post collected art throughout her life, emphasizing only the finest French and Russian objects.

The quality and quantity of the Russian art at Hillwood is unparalleled outside Russia.

Dank der bewussten Reduktion in Form und Farbe entfalten die Keramiken der Schweizerin Sonja Duo-Meyer (geb. 1953) eine enorme Ausdruckskraft. Fast meditativ wirken die flieenden Silhouetten, finden sich Fixpunkte in der leichten Asymmetrie der Formen und es entwickelt sich ein raffiniertes Spiel von Licht und Schatten. Oberflache, Material, Korper und Technik sind durch ein minimalistisches Gestaltungskonzept verwoben, das Leere und Stille zelebriert.Objektfotografien und Ausstellungsansichten zeigen Gefae, Objekte und Wandinstallationen aus den Jahren 1992 bis 2017. Arbeiten und Eindrucke aus dem Keramik-Zentrum Tajimi, in dem sich die Kunstlerin als Artist in Residence intensiv mit den Techniken Japans auseinandersetzte, werden besonders hervorgehoben.Diese erste umfassende Monografie uber Sonja Duo-Meyer prasentiert in spannungsreichen Abbildungen und informativen Beitragen die Entwicklung einer nun uber 40 Jahre andauernden Karriere in der gegenwartigen keramischen Kunst.

Dry glazes, also known as matte glazes, provide ceramic artists with an alternative to conventional glossy and transparent finishes. Potters such as Lucie Rie and Hans Coper frequently used matte and opaque coatings in their work. Contemporary sculptors employ dry glazes to add texture and depth to the surface of their pieces. Still, little information has been published on matte glaze techniques until now.In Dry Glazes, artist and educator Jeremy Jernegan covers everything ceramicists need to know to create and manipulate a range of matte glazes, from satin to cratered. This compact yet complete guide contains more than 270 formulas and recipes for slips, sigillatas, vitreous englobes, oxides, and stains. Jernegan gives clear and thorough instruction on application and firing methods, including raku. He also explains safe and environmentally responsible ways to handle the chemicals involved. Dry Glazes not only contains step-by-step color photographs of test tiles and procedures; it features illustrations of works by contemporary makers who have used matte glazes to great effect.With over one hundred illustrations and an in-depth treatment of techniques, materials, and creative approaches, Dry Glazes is a smart addition to any clay worker''s library. It is a practical and inspirational resource for ceramics practitioners, instructors, and students who want to make or alter their own glazes.
