WHEN tne Kin CIuo OF
w Washington opened its
annual Exhibition of Ceramic
Art in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition on September 4, it
marked the fourth year that
this local craft group has put
on the only international
show of its kind in the world.
Under the auspices of the
National Collection of Fine
Arts, the exhibition this year
features examples of the pot
ter's art as practiced in q
widely separated lands.
Mixed with ultra a-modern
French and Norwegian crea-
tions is the Mayan-influenced
pottery from Honduras and
subdued, delicately textured
glazes by japanese craftsmen.
Colorful Mexican ceramics
blend with New Zealand stone
ware and Persian favored
earthenware from the Middle
East.
Filling the remainder of the
foyer of the National Museum.
Tenth street and Constitution
avenue NV, are the exhibits
of pottery, ceramic sculpture.
stained glass and enamels by
some So noted American ar
lists and more than 100 local
ceramic craftsmen.
The latter group, from the
D. C.-Maryland- Virginia area,
is competitive, while the for
eign and top-flight American
groups exhibit through Kiln
Club invitation.
Again this year, award
winning works will be offered
to the Smithsonian and. if
accepted by the Fine Arts
Commission. will become a
part Of the museums perma-
nent collection. Five pieces
from last years show were
accepted.

Creations Of the Ceramic World

Mr.. PurSel turned to pottery
Just to have something to
do"-after his retirement
from the Internal Revenue
Bureau five years ago. Today
he is considered one of the
areas top craftsmen, and has
taken six show awards.
Visitors to the Smithsonian
will be able to discern two dis
tinct schools of thought in
pieces presented by Kiln Club
members and others.
On one side are the advo-
Gates of form, staunchly sup
ported by Mr.. Pursel and Mrs.
Edgar Fuller, a club member
who has mastered the primi-
tive pinch-pot method, which
needs no wheel. To them,
perfection in the shape of a
piece, be it traditional or ul-
a-modern, is of major i'm
portance.
Equally represented will be
the opposite school, backed
by Ralph Fast, one of the Kiln
Clubs top specialists in
glazes. Form, to a glaze en-
thusiast, is only incidental,
the pot only a vehicle to carry
a new glaze or a fine repro
duction of one used by an an
cient master.
But regardless of artistic
preferences, Kiln Club men,
bers agree with their presi-
dent, George Higgs: "The
tough competition of our an
nual show has been largely
responsible for developing
club talents so far in so short
a time"
In addition, it has fostered
an awareneSS of little known
ceramic sidelines, such as
stained glass. This ancient
art gets a SiZable boost in this
years show which has 16 ex-
hibit panels.

The Kiln Clubs interna-
tional show developed by ac-
cident in 1850, when the
group was assembling a small
exhibit of members work for
the Smithsonian.
Faced with more space than
entries, the club turned for
help to Paul Gardner, curator
of ceramics. He suggested
they invite some well known
American and foreign potters
to exhibit as guests.
The idea worked so we'll
that the club decided to make
it an annual affair that would
help promote a better under
standing among the worlds
ceramists while giving the 10
cal potter a chance to study
their work and thus improve
the quality of his own.
BY last year, the exhibition
had made such an impression
that one of the biggest ce-
ramic shows in the country
complained when the Kiln
Club dates conflicted with
those of the established show.
AS unusual as its exhibition
is the Kiln Club itself. Both
are newcomers to the ceramic
scene. the club having grown
out of an evening craft course
taught at Friendship House
in 1916.
Although many members
consistently win prizes in ma
tional competitions, the ma
jority of them had their
introduction to clay and the
potter'S wheel in the last
half dozen years.
Some have professional art
backgrounds, but a few. such
as Lisle Pursel. who has taken
honors in every Kiln Club
show, started with no formal
training whatever.
