Saratoga Clay Arts Center’s Schacht Gallery presents FIRED/ON, its 4th annual national juried exhibition, curated by Vermont potter and artist Jessica Putnam-Phillips. Running May 6th through June 10th, 2023, with an opening reception on Saturday May 6, from 5-7pm, this exhibition will feature functional or vessel oriented ceramic works that explore the myriad of expressions that come from the use of decals and image transfers – basically all that is FIRED/ON.

Jessica Putnam-Phillips states, "Surface decoration enriches the message of our work, adding layers of meaning and visual interest. This exhibition will focus on the use of decals and/or image transfers on their own or combined with other surface decoration techniques. Underglaze decals, monoprint or screen-print transfers, laser (iron oxide) decals, overglaze decals, commercial decals or any other type of decal or image transfer add depth and richness to our work. From these techniques emerge a wide range of ceramic styles, from complex narratives to evocative minimalist expressions, and everything in-between. This exhibition seeks submissions that utilize and celebrate the possibilities of these varied surface techniques and all things fired onto the ceramic surface.  All work must be functional or vessel orientated."
