Porcelain teapot, true blue glaze, by Andrew Boswell.

Andrew’s robust porcelain forms are accentuated by high fired glazes applied in multi-layers to create surfaces rich in depth. Color schemes include ohata, pictured top left, true blue, pictured bottom left, celedon green, winter white and gloss black. These glazes, reflecting the influence of historic Chinese pottery, Japanese pottery and Venetian glass, complement Andrew’s modern yet classic aesthetic.

The exhibit and reception will be held in the Bostree Gallery special event room, next door to the gallery.

“Andrew’s teapot forms are round generous, and joyous. They look like happy Buddhas.”

New Work by Andrew Boswell

Artist’s Reception

Exhibit
Saturday, August 20, 2011. 12:00pm – 9:00pm
Sunday, August 21, 2011. 12:00pm – 5:00pm.

The Bostree Gallery is pleased to host this exhibit of Andrew Boswell’s most recent work. New pieces to be included in the exhibit are dinnerware, platters, nesting bowls and colanders among others. Andrew’s pottery, hand thrown on the potter’s wheel, is exclusively grolleg porcelain, a very white, fine, sometimes translucent clay body. His glazes, meticulously layered in just the right way, create colors and textures that flow to accentuate his fluid and graceful forms.

The exhibit will be on display in the Bostree Gallery Special Event Room, 1361 Kings Highway, Sugar Loaf, NY (for GPS use Chester, NY)

The spring is in full swing, and full bloom! Andrew has created a number of new vases to showcase nature’s latest creations to brighten your home or office. He is also working on some hanging planters and sets of bowls which, are reminiscent of lotus blossoms especially when stacked largest to smallest, one atop the other. Diane’s crystaline glaze pottery always suggests flowers due to the pansy shaped growth of the crystals in the glaze on the surface of the pots. We will be featuring a selection of Diane’s crystaline glaze bowls and vases during the show. We hope you will join us for this celebration of spring!

Wishing you sunshine, gentle showers and a joyous spring time!                                        ~ Terry

We have reopened after successfully renovating the gallery entry room!

March 3, 2011:
The Bostree Gallery is currently closed for building repair / renovations.
We had hoped to reopen by tomorrow, the first weekend of March, but this has been delayed. We ran into the usual “what-happens-when-making-repairs-to-a-150-year-old-building” scenario. Even more things to repair were uncovered when the 153 year old ceiling and a portion of wall, in the gallery entry room, were opened. The inevitable renovation proclamation was sounded, “While we have the wall open, we should…” Presto! The project was automatically prolonged! But, self control and a budget prevailed and the long and the short of it is, we will be painting in a day or three, wiping up the last of the dust and reopening the second weekend of March thanks to our most excellent carpenter, Wayne (The Great) Diltz.
See you next week!
