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 posts 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 Part1 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 2 of 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 had 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.
