Among the Birches with Cynthia Cummings-Birch

Description

The League of NH Craftsmen Meredith Fine Craft Gallery is pleased to represent potter Cynthia Cummings-Birch as our July Artist of the Month. Throughout July an exhibit Among the Birches will have her work featured and available for purchase at the Meredith Fine Craft Gallery. Cynthia Cummings-Birch is a ceramic artist, whose work is both sculptural and functional with an emphasis on the natural world, specifically the landscape of New Hampshire. She combines throwing, hand building and figurative carving, creating a contrast between the smooth glazed areas and the carved stained surface of the landscape. The glazes she uses are all colors found in nature which help to evoke the feeling of the natural environment and create a sense of place. The mission of the League of NH Craftsmen is to encourage, nurture and promote the creation, use and preservation of fine contemporary and traditional craft through the inspiration and education of artists and the broader community. Come meet the artist and see a demonstration on how she creates these one-of-a-kind pieces on July 11th from 11:00 AM ? 2:00 PM. The League of NH Craftsmen Fine Craft Gallery is located at 279 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH.
