San Joaquin Potters Guild

A non-profit organization, the San Joaquin Potters Guild was founded in 1991 by a small group of clay artists who were interested in the camaraderie and inspiration that could be gained by association with other ceramic artists.  Over the years the guild has grown and now includes glass artists.

A friendly, diverse and active group, the San Joaquin Potters Guild is committed to maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and design in clay and glass.  The organization encourages innovation and profession growth in technical skills and aesthetics, promotes public appreciation and understanding of ceramic and glass art and provides a medium for exchange of ideas and concerns within the field.

The members of the San Joaquin Potters Guild represents artists in Northern and Central California.

Director's Corner

May brings flowers, sunshine, ceramics and glass! 
As the season warms up the Mile starts to come alive with new visitors and bicycle riders. Stop by to see the Goodwin Gallery filled with vessels, pottery, and glass by the San Joaquin Potters Guild for the month of May.

A few things to note for this month. May is the calm and preparation period for the busy summer activities: youth art classes, artist workshops, and Miracle Mile hosted events. It is great to collaborate with arts organizations with the same passions to bring learning and opportunities to the community. Stay tuned for more collaboration events as we find ways to partner with other Stockton members. 

Kat and I have been rearranging the classroom area to make room for the next season of SAL classes. We have several workshops lined up for the summer. See the rest of our newsletter for more information. 

I will be taking a short hiatus during the month of June to teach in summer but leave the gallery in good hands with Kat. I will still be available by email. 

Hope to see you soon at the Gallery,
Jessica

We can’t wait to show you what our Lenses have captured. Reception: When: June 3, 2023 Time: 5-9 PM Where: 926 North Yosemite Stockton

Breaking the Rules:
PAUL WONNER AND THEOPHILUS BROWN

n reaction to the widespread pursuit of Abstract Expressionism in the late 1940s and early 1950s, several avant-garde artists in the San Francisco Bay Area began to reengage with the visible world, applying the gestural style of action painting to depictions of people, landscapes, and still lifes.

APRIL 30, 2023 — AUGUST 27, 2023
Amidst the political and social upheaval at the beginning of the 20th century, German and Austrian artists turned to stark, almost brutal imagery to create a new kind of art. Figural distortion, flattened perspective, and straightforward technique served to express their feelings and thoughts in visual form. Ranging from perceptive self-portraits to biting social critiques, this exhibition explores the subjects and styles of Expressionist artists, including Max Beckmann, Georg Grosz, and Käthe Kollwitz.

De Young Museum, San Francisco

Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence

March 18 – October 15, 2023
American artist Kehinde Wiley’s new body of paintings and sculptures confronts the silence surrounding systemic violence against Black people through the visual language of the fallen figure. It expands on his 2008 series, Down — a group of large-scale portraits of young Black men inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger’s The Dead Christ in the Tomb (1521–1522). Wiley investigates the iconography of death and sacrifice in Western art, tracing it across religious, mythological, and historical subjects. In An Archaeology of Silence, the senseless deaths of men and women around the world are transformed into a powerful elegy of resistance. The resulting paintings of figures struck down, wounded, or dead, referencing iconic paintings of mythical heroes, martyrs, and saints, offer a haunting meditation on the legacies of colonialism and systemic racism.

Ansel Adams in Our Time

April 8 – July 23, 2023
Looking forward and back, this exhibition of more than 100 works by photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams (1902 – 1984) places him in direct conversation with contemporary artists and the photographers who influenced him. Laid out in seven sections tracing Adams’s artistic development, the exhibition features some of his most-loved photographs, including images of Yosemite, San Francisco, and the American Southwest. Adams’s works are shown alongside prints by 19th-century landscape photographers, such as Carleton Watkins and Eadweard Muybridge, as well contemporary artists like Trevor Paglen, Will Wilson, and Catherine Opie. Their work engages anew with the sites and subjects that occupied Adams throughout his life — from national parks to the use and misuse of natural resources. Adams’s legacy continues to inspire and provoke, influencing how we envision the landscape and serving as an urgent call to preserve our environment.

Legion of Honor, San Francisco

Sargent and Spain

February 11 – May 14, 2023
Churches, coastlines, gardens, royal palaces, dancing — vibrant works by John Singer Sargent (1856 – 1925) immerse you in the rich culture of Spain. This exhibition, in its exclusive West coast stop, is the first to explore the influence of Spanish culture on Sargent’s dynamic visual practice. Celebrated as the society portraitist of his era, Sargent influenced a generation of American painters. His captivation with Spain, which developed over the course of seven visits taken from 1879 to 1912, resulted in a remarkable body of work. The exhibition presents an array of Sargent’s dazzling oils, watercolors, and drawings, along with never-before-exhibited photographs, showcasing Spain’s people, architecture, and magnificent urban and rural landscapes.
