Our artists, the reason to celebrate our festival, filled our clubhouse and grounds with their latest work.

From paintings to pottery, quilts to jewelry and sculpture, we enjoyed the color, texture, form and feeling which art brings to our lives.

We have a strong community of artists in Williamsburg.  And many active in our Williamsburg arts community are also our neighbors, or our former neighbors, here in Kingspoint.  We are happy to have the opportunity to to meet and visit with them, and to view and purchase their current works, right here in our own Kingspoint Clubhouse.

 

Jean Hess has strong ties to our Kingspoint neighborhood.  Her work remains on permanent display in our clubhouse.

 

We also have a strong community of volunteers.  We appreciate the support of so many willing neighbors who helped make this event possible. 

Working together, we created a memorable and successful day. 

“Thank you!” to all of the friends, family, neighbors, and visitors who shared some part of the day with us.

Raku Pottery

 

Denis Orton, Raku potter, continuously works to perfect his glazes.

 

A retired chemist, Denis has been making his signature one of a kind pots in his home studio in Kingspoint for more than two decades.

The Raku pots are removed red hot from the kiln, and are put on a bed of sawdust and then covered with a steel can for ten minutes.  The smoke and fumes from the sawdust have worked their magic on the still molten glaze.

Denis continues to experiment in pursuit of mastery of this ancient art.

Denis has recently been working with crystalline glazes on porcelain.

Denis formulates his glazes with various metals to create the unusual crystalline formations. The crystals form as the pots slowly cool in the kiln over many hours.
