        NDPCS ROAD SHOW

The North Dakota Pottery Collectors Society has developed a program called the “NDPCS Pottery Road Show”.  The program provides historical and general information about the major producers of the types of pottery made from North Dakota clay.  The program includes a slide presentation, a possible display of ND pottery types, and an identification session. The one to three hour program format would be presented by volunteer NDPCS members.

The NDPCS invites your organization to consider scheduling and hosting the Pottery “Road Show” in your community.  Details and information about scheduling the event, location and facilitator will be worked out on an individual basis. Further details may be obtained from Quent Christman,  941 Oxbow Court, Grand Forks, ND 58203, 701-775-3265. qachr@gra.midco.net

NDPCS POTTERY ROADSHOW

By Quent Christman

NDPCS POTTERY “ROAD SHOW” - 1/31/2009, Enderlin, ND

The NDPCS Pottery “Road Show” was hosted by the Enderlin Fine Arts Association and conducted by the Christmans at 2 PM on Saturday, January 31, 2009.  28 individuals attended the “Road Show” presentation.  Seven individuals brought 23 pottery items in for identification and evaluation.  The items included Rosemeade, UND, WPA and other miscellaneous pottery.  The highlight items identified were a bowl with Native American designs, blue and white with incised “WPA 1937 ND V. B.” (Veronica Barnhart) and a UND vase “Dutch Girls” by Julia Mattson.  A 1952 UND student, Jack Armstrong, shared with the audience several pottery items that he had made as a student, including the book entitled North Dakota Artists by Paul Barr, which showed on page 54, a picture of Jack with other class members and instructor, Julia Mattson.
