Potter Greenbaum joins ARTery

Posted

MILFORD, PA — Well known potter David Greenbaum will join the ARTery Gallery beginning in January. The cooperative gallery displays a wide variety of fine arts created by its members, regional artists who own and operate the business together.

Greenbaum has been an integral part of the art scene in Milford for several decades. During a 40-plus year career as a potter, he has made works of diverse character and motivation ranging from 400-pound architectural vessels to utilitarian kitchenware. The body of work currently on display at The ARTery represents his lifelong exploration of aesthetic harmony within the parameters of the thrown ceramic form.

Each of Greenbaum’s porcelain pots is hand formed on a potter’s wheel. The carved decorations are inscribed with a wire loop tool while the clay is still moist. Once fully dry, the surface is hand burnished with a polished stone that produces the mirror-like surface. No glaze of any kind is used. Various primitive firing processes, including sagger and pit firings, are then deployed to produce the varied coloration.

The ARTery is located at 210 Broad St. Call 570/409-1234.
