Julie Brooke, the Scottish Potter”, has been making a living out of clay for nearly three decades, and she has been a specialist in the demanding discipline of crystalline glazed porcelain for more than 10 years. While Julie has been known to hyperventilate while unloading crystal pots from her electric kiln, she derives equal parts pleasure from spying blood red reduction glazes as she cracks the door on her propane kiln. This year will mark the fifth bi-annual show of crystalline-glazed porcelain that Julie Brooke has had at the Open Eye Studio in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1992, she organized and implemented Part I of the Chinese Ceramic Exchange, during which 20 American and Canadian potters traveled to the Central Academy of Arts and Design in Beijing, China to demonstrate Western ceramic techniques. In 1993, Brooke organized and implemented Part II pf the Chinese Ceramic Exchange, during which two esteemed professors from the Central Academy of Arts and Design came to San Diego to lecture and experience first hand contemporary ceramics in the Western United States. In 1989, Brooke had a solo show of crystalline-glazed porcelain at the MOA gallery in the Melrose district of Los Angeles. Exhibitions: 1999 Third place, Local Color III, Escondido Municipal Gallery, August/September 1992 Honorary Diploma, Sandong Ceramics Festival, Zibo, China 1990 Merit Certificate Award, Fletcher Challenge, New Zealand |
