The COVID-19 pandemic caused WOODFIRE NC to be postponed twice. It was great to be able to actually get together and make it happen!

This blog documents the EnVision show that was set up at the conference. It had work from all of the presenters and artists invited to be part of WOODFIRE NC. It was fabulous being able to walk through the main hall and see these pieces throughout the conference. I have tried to document each piece and artist that were in the show but if I mislabelled any then please let me know!

For the first WOODFIRE NC conference back in 2017 I documented the show as well. You can check that out via the link below if you like:

But now it is 2022! Below are images of almost all of the pieces in the EnVision show. The images below are all cropped square but clicking on any one of them will enlarge them. Then you can flick through the un-cropped images at leisure!

There were some other pieces on display at the conference. This was Anne Partna’s Invisible kiln, full of her work and other local artists such as Hannah Cupp and Stillman Browning-Howe.

Some of the wild clays that Takuro Shibata uses in his Starworks clay blends…

Catherine White’s clay paintings were particularly exciting to me. These were done with different colored unfired clays onto bisque tiles. Catherine calls them ‘Wild Pigment Paintings.’ I hope they stay on permanent display at Starworks.
