John Dix: Workshop and Exhibit
John Dix
Workshop & Lecture
Saturday, August 4th 2007
10AM - 4PM
Hosted By Peter Callas
at the
Peter Callas Studio
Belvidere, NJ
John Dix has a curiosity for experience, and has been traveling his whole life. Leaving it up to serendipity he has landed in Japan, and has been a working potter for the last fifteen years. He makes beautiful tableware with Shino glaze, as well as art vessels; all woodfired. This is a rare opportunity to see John work and talk about his experiences abroad. He is a highly accomplished artist, and will host a very insightful event.
“My work in clay is much like my travels; both the making and firings are always an adventure. I have starting points without a clear finish line; Over the years my forms have gotten simpler; less ornate, with little conscious decoration on them, but it is something more satisfying on a personal creative level.”

And from Robert Yellin’s e-yakimono:
If you happen to find yourself in Osaka this week and next you would do well to stop by John Dix’s large one-man exhibition at Daimaru, Shinsaibashi; the exhibition starts on May 30th and runs until June 5th. Dix creates unglazed high-fired stoneware as well as glazed works for the table and Tea room. As Peter Callas says, “He is a highly accomplished artist.”
