Lincoln
Arts,
a not-for-profit public arts organization was founded in October,
1986, to support and promote the arts, culture and history in
the greater Lincoln area. Unlike many arts organizations, Lincoln
Arts receives no guaranteed government funding, and is funded
almost entirely through the contributions of its members and community
donations.
In
addition to the unusual FEATS OF CLAY national
ceramics competition and exhibition, Lincoln Arts sponsors:
A
summer series of free Concerts-in-the-Plaza
Lincoln
Clayfest - a one-day celebration of the clay arts
Continuous
gallery exhibits featuring local and regional
artists' works
Holiday
Shop
Arts

"Kiln
Gods" now at Lincoln Arts Gift Shop
Every ceramic artist is familiar with the little "Kiln
Gods" which sit atop their kiln to insure a good firing
with no glitches or broken pottery. A firing without such
creations just wouldn't be done!
The crude, quickly created images that usually adorn kilns,
however, have little relation to the figures at Lincoln
Arts Gift Shop. Created by Gladding, McBean Product Control
Specialist, Richard "Hutch" Hutcheson, the "Kiln
Gods" are each hand made from GMB terra cotta clay.
Their bellies sport the Gladding, McBean logo, and each
2 ½ - 3 inch figure is hand-formed and an original
work of art which has been signed by the artist. The faces
are simple but expressive - some conveying joy, some sadness
or surprise. Some bring to mind the Casein/waxed crayon
creation entitled "Scream," by Norwegian impressionist
artist Edvard Munch. They all have one thing in common though:
gazing at them is sure to bring a smile, if not an outright
guffaw - and owning one would be even better. Those who
decide to adopt the little creatures can go online and receive
an official adoption certificate - much like the popular
Cabbage Patch dolls of a few years ago.
These "Kiln Gods" are available exclusively at
Lincoln Arts for only $20.00. For more information contact
the gallery at: (916) 645-9713.
