The American Craftsmen Show
American Craftsmen Show artist Greg Shooner was featured for
the cover story for the April 2015 issue of Early American Life Magazine. Both
Greg and Mary Spellmire-Shooner were listed by Early American Life Magazine in
2014 for their American Redware. In
“Slab-Formed Redware” Greg stated in this article “Many 19th-Century
potters supplemented the work turned on their wheels with earthenware made by
molds. We have all seen redware dishes
and their familiar “wavy line” decoration. Learning how these were – and are
still – being made will help you understand both antique and modern molded
redware pottery. Greg explains both the
history, techniques and process used to create redware, as well as the use of
slip to decorate redware and the techniques to create sgraffito.
