Fired Up! A Celebration of Wood-Fired Ceramics and Friendship.

Join us at Lebanon Picture Frame & Fine Art Gallery for an exhibition honoring three years of camaraderie, creativity, and artistry forged in the wood kiln. This upcoming show celebrates four women who have shared their passion for the art of wood-firing, a tradition that combines patience, precision, and collaboration. What began as a vision from Margaret Seidenberg-Ellis—an experienced artist in wood-firing—evolved into a vibrant partnership. Gathering her close friends and fellow artists Joanne Cassaro, Sue Baldwin-Way, and Lois Wilkins, Seidenberg-Ellis sought to create an environment where each artist could push boundaries, refine techniques, and deepen their understanding of wood-fired ceramics. Together, they navigated each stage of the process, from the loading of their works into the kiln to the intense final steps of adding salt and soda, all the while making each decision as a team. The exhibition also proudly includes the works of Kevin Lehman and Salvatore Annunziato, two seasoned wood-firing artists who have generously shared their expertise, encouraging and inspiring the group’s journey.

Opening Reception: We invite you to meet these talented artists in person on First Friday, December 6, 2024, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The exhibition will remain open to the public through Saturday, February 1, 2025.
