Item Description

Pair of Teabowls

Salt fired stoneware

3"H x 5-1/2"diameter (largest)

Gray's works are hand-built; and she uses thrown forms, extrusions, coils and slabs combined in different ways to create sculptural works that are often ceremonial in nature. The pieces are raku-fired with light reduction, generally sprayed with water and then put into hardwood sawdust to cool. The result is an aged, often stone-like or metallic appearance.

She received Bachelor degrees in Art & English from Meredith College. Gray also attended Auburn University, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Penland School of Crafts. Exhibitions include the Visual Arts Center, NC State University; Farmington Valley Arts Center (CT); Flagler Museum (FL); Charles Allis Museum (WI); William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum (GA), Asheville Art Museum (NC) and the NC Museum of History. Her work also was selected by the Southern Arts Federation for their traveling exhibition, "Contemporary Crafts." Collections include R.J. Reynolds Industries Collection (NC), The Lannan Foundation (FL), and the North Carolina Museum of History.
