REFIND: Michael SimonPick of the Kiln and Other Significant Pieces LIVE at 2:00 pm (EST) on Friday, December 09, 2022

We are honored to be partnering with Ferrin Contemporary to bring you this exhibition:
MICHAEL SIMON - PICK OF THE KILN and OTHER SIGNIFICANT PIECES
----
The goals for this exhibition are multifold:

-We feel that Michael Simon was, and still is, a significant and influential maker in the history of ceramics. His way of making, his simplicity and minimalism, and his humble way of making are nothing short of genius.

-That showing his work is important to preserve and expand his legacy. The digital photographs can and will be seen by thousands of people around the world. Many who, most likely will never be able to make it to a gallery or museum, will be able to study his forms, decoration, and share the photos with others.

-The sales of these pieces will support the MICHAEL SIMON STUDIO POTTERY FELLOWSHIP at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine. Specifically, 10% of the proceeds of all sales will be donated.

- Anthony Schaller - Director, "Lastly, a personal reason, Michael and I planned a show many years ago. Sadly, that show never came to fruition. This is my chance to fulfill my commitment to him. I think he'd be pleased, I know I am."

We'd like to send a heartfelt thank you to the following people for their unceasing dedication to preserving Michael's legacy:
Leslie Ferrin, Director, Ferrin Contemporary
Mark Shapiro, Maker and Author
Posey Bacopoulos, Maker
Ginger Aldrich, Development Director, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts
Plus, all of collectors, friends, writers and supporters of Michael from the years past and of the years coming.
