March Artist-in-Residence

David mcbeth​​​​​

​

March Artist-in-Residence artist David McBeth is a potter, knitter and writer. As a potter he works primarily with porcelain that is high-fired and ready for the dining table. As a knitter, his preferred material is wool yarn. David also writes poetry, short essays and personal narratives. His work is influenced through dialogue with others, by the wind through the trees and the coming and going of the tides. 
 
During David’s month-long residency, he will focus on three primary aspects of creativity. Using porcelain, he will make a series of lunch plate/shallow bowl forms, and cups that will serve as the surfaces on which he will be exploring storytelling through drawing. He will write personal narrative essays and epistolary poems. And he will also knit daily.
 
David invites you to join him as he soaks in the winter world around the Blue Hill Peninsula. How can the collective of work on the dining table tell stories and inspire memories through plate, bowl, cup and platter? If the Gallery flag is flying, he will be there welcoming visitors. There will always be coffee, tea and cookies.
