The 2001 herd of Louise W. King's clay horses will be at Carole Peck's Good News Cafe in Woodbury from October 8 - November 25,2001.
During the past year Louise King has turned her attention to more conventional glazes, and partly moved into a small studio at Matthew Denning's Red Mill in Bridgewater, CT …. at least the slabroller is a full time resident. The horses are still a lively mixture of Persian and Chinese representations of horses "crossed with the memory of carrousel horses I've known". Gestural and whimsical, they prance, gallop flat out (supported by Sharon Blacksmith William Trowbridge's forged iron stands), or simply stand gazing at the passing scene with equine dignity. King has been preoccupied with horse construction since 1980, working at the Brookfield Craft Center and the Washington Art Association in Connecticut, at Fred Rose's Chelsea Ceramic Guild and the Greenwich House Pottery in New York City. The next clay horses will appear at the International Ceramic Fair in New York, January 2002.
