About the Item
Alice Federico was born in Selma, Alabama in 1945. She received a BA degree in history from Hollins University (1967), an MFA in ceramics from East Carolina University (1977), as well as a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute (1983).
Trained first as an historian, historical pots have always had an influence on her work. That influence includes Chinese Sung ware, Greek vases, and Italian folk work. But it was researching the crisp forms and simple glazes of English potter Dame Lucie Rie (1902-1990) which gave her hours of pleasure.
Federico ‘s work is always anchored in the vase form as thrown on the potter’s wheel. Small necks, long shanks, bulbous bellies, are her hallmark. They are derived from historical form. Her surfaces, also, are singular. The dark grainy surfaces of 10 years ago and the bright palate she uses in this exhibit are the result of experimenting with raw materials such as talc, feldspar and dolomite.
This exhibit is a rebellion. Her forms move and gesture. Color is bright and abstract. Marks barely recall the patterns of classic vase decoration. It is as though she is deconstructing the influences she embraced. These pots are alive, instilled with both tradition and vigor.

- MetamorphosisBy Jared FitzgeraldLocated in Southampton, NY“Metamorphosis” is a unique over-glaze Chinese porcelain pot by renowned ceramist and painter, Jared FitzGerald. Blowing in the wind. The wind crosses to the mountain and loops lazily in circles in the blue sky. “Metamorphosis” is part of a new series from Fitzgerald’s studios in Jingdezhen, China. This series uses over-glaze, a new ceramic firing technique that diverges from Fitzgerald’s previous ceramic practice, which used the traditional under-glaze technique with blue and white colors. Over-glaze allows FitzGerald to paint with a range of colors; unlike with other glaze techniques, such as under- or middle-glaze, over-glaze allows FitzGerald to paint onto an already fired ceramic panel, so there is no serious change in the color of the pigments. This is a special technique which allows the artist to mix Chinese painting techniques with western techniques derived from oil painting. Over-glaze decoration is considered one of the most important modern glaze techniques in Jingdezhen now. The traditional overglaze decorative colors in Jingdezhen include Gucai (antique colors...Category
