About David Orser
Orser’s work is the result of an investigation into structures that manifest similarly on micro and macroscopic levels. The inherent contradiction of growth vs. assembly; human artifact vs. animal architecture, chaotic happenstance and the metamorphosis of material all inform the works’ content, which has evolved over 16 years. His structures include spiked glazed pieces built from porcelain coils and disc assemblages built from stoneware clay, fired in either a propane reduction or oxidizing salt firing.
Orser received his undergraduate degree from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and received his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He also participated in programs at the Watershed Center from Ceramic Art, Penland School of Craft and the Tuscarora Pottery School. He has exhibited in numerous individual and group shows throughout New England and received the Zachos Award at the Ceramics Biennial 2006, New Hampshire Institute of Art.

About Laurel MacDuffie
MacDuffie creates stoneware containers which recall a centuries old past thanks to inscriptions and exquisite glazes. She attempts to give importance and sanctuary to tender feelings. Living in a small rural town, she explores Early American imagery searching through remnants left on the land by past generations contemplating questions of life, meaning, human activity and the present state of our world. These boxes made of clay, wood and metals, reference 18th and 19th century American furniture, particularly everyday objects such as the blanket chest. Early American aesthetics are also represented in surface decoration. The interiors of the boxes depict an abstraction of furniture motif and are meant to evoke emotionality in the viewer. MacDuffie states, “clay, like the land, is a responsive, faithful record keeper. Its qualities evoke emotions in me that help direct the form.”
MacDuffie received her B.A. from Connecticut College and her M.A. in Art Therapy at Lesley College. She received the Amaco Merchandise Award at Strictly Functional Pottery National, Market House Craft Center in Lancaster, PA in 2005 and Best of Show in the Ceramics Biennial 2006, New Hampshire Institute of Art. She has taught in the Danforth Museum School since 1999.
