Potter makes debut at annual arts event, now in a new location. Suzanne Chessler I Contributing Writer T he tiles of Ann Arbor's Julie Cohen will be among the nearly 35,000 pieces — sculptures, vases, jewelry, pots, platters, mugs, ceramic-framed mirrors, lamps, tables and birdbaths — being shown Dec. 4-7 by some 145 artists at the 39th annual Potters Market, this year making its venue debut at the Southfield Pavilion. The event was held for more than 30 years at the UF&CW Union Hall in Madison Heights. "We are extremely excited about the big move says Carol Fitzpatrick, Potters Market co-manager. "The new facility is bigger and gives us the opportunity to add even more potters to the roster and expand and improve the sales-floor lay- out:' The facility allows for daily pottery demonstrations and a refreshment cafe, vending machines, free coat check and more parking. Cohen develops hand-carved relief tiles in different sizes and is expanding her skills into functional pieces, such as round trivets. Working from 28 different designs, she will be showing some 200 tiles. "My designs are inspired by motifs from fragments of designs that I find in materi- als, ceilings, books and other sources:' says Cohen, active with Temple Beth Emeth in Ann Arbor. "I have botanicals as well as geometric patterns, and I'm drawn to elegant sim- plicity and clean looks that are timeless. I work with different glazes for a combina- tion of colors:' Cohen, whose fine arts degree was earned at the University of Michigan, started off making prints while teach- ing art in elementary and middle-school grades. Twelve years ago, her direction changed after studying ways to make tiles at the Ann Arbor Art Center. "I got hooked on the process:' says Cohen, who also plans to do plates and trivets with seder themes. "My tiles now are shown at the Dancing Eye Gallery in Northville and in galleries known by pot- tery buyers in Petoskey and Wesley, Mass. "When I make tiles, I roll out slabs of clay and use a series of small tools to make designs. I develop a plaster mold to make additional pieces with that design:' Cohen, who works out of her kitchen and in rented studio space shared by a collective of five women, will be joined by other Jewish artists at the Potters Market. Among those showing new works will be Jack Adelman of Farmington Hills, Joane Arkin of Waterford, Lori Becker of Birmingham, Carole Berhorst of Bloomfield Hills, Lonnie Bodzin of Southfield, George Erdstein of Huntington Woods, Sara Frank of West Bloomfield, Ellen Kates of Bingham Farms, Rachall LaMe of Ann Arbor, Benji Pearlman of Bloomfield Hills, Joanne Ugelow of Troy and Ruth Weinbaum of Bloomfield Hills. The Potters Market is organized as a col- lective by the potters themselves, who staff the event. Pottery from all the artists is restocked continually, with an ever-chang- ing array representing a cross-section of work, whether stoneware, earthenware, porcelain, raku or smoke-fired materials. A special section, Pots for Charity, will offer ceramic pots from the collection of Dr. Charlie Blosser, late founder of the Potters Market. All money raised in this section will be donated to the Detroit Fire Department in his memory. ❑ Some animals exhibited in Inens African Safari Wildlife Park Fey $3 00 Off JCN3 Up to 6 people) JCNc JCN2 Provide e mai address to redeem th s coupon Valid for up to 6 people with coupon • May not be used in combination with any other offer. africansafariwildlifepark.com "Much-heralded Star Deli slow-cooks its own tender temptations" — Danny Raskin ELI Make your Chanukah EASY Order your trays and LATKES from STAR!!
