About the Artists
Davin and Susan Butterfield, the potter and the painter, work together to produce their handmade pottery. The quintessential aspect of their work is the atmospheric effects of iron during oxygen reduction at high temperatures. They use many layers of oxides, which give the brushwork a painterly depth as the oxides melt into the glaze, just on the verge of melting down.
The botanical imagery is painted in a gestural manner likened to impressionism, so that the feeling of light, color, and movement comes alive on the surface.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
After the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.
