Jack Troy Workshop at SU

Jack Troy will begin his residency at Syracuse University this weekend. He will conduct a two day workshop (open to the public) on Saturday and Sunday. An exhibition of his work will open Saturday evening (Oct. 17) at the Gandee Gallery in Fabius, N.Y. He will spend the next few weeks making work and preparing for firing the SU anagama. The tentative firing dates are Oct 26,27,28.

A potter, teacher and author for over 50 years, Troy is known for his work in salt and wood. For biographical information go to www.jacktroy.net.

He will also be visiting PrattMWP during his stay to see the our collection of local mid nineteenth century salt ware made by White's Pottery (N. White Pottery and sons, Utica) and others. In his 1977 book on salt firing, Troy mentioned the Utica pottery, which found some success here thanks to the Erie Canal.

This will his first time seeing our collection in person. We are fortunate to be a small part of his visit.
