Raymer Society Consignment Art Auction
Lot 141:
Roger Jamison, stoneware, square footed jar with lid, signed on bottom, good condition, 7.5 x 5 x 5. Artist Statement:I grew up on a farm on the plains of Kansas and attended the University of Kansas and Bethany College where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art in 1970. Following that, at Indiana University I received the Master of Fine Arts Degree in Ceramics in 1974. From there I moved to Macon, Georgia where I taught ceramics, drawing and design at Mercer University until 2009 when I retired to work full time in my studio.Travel has been an important part of my education. I was fortunate to participtate in three residencies. First, in 1978 with the University of Georgia’s Studies Abroad in Cortona, Italy, then at the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts in 1986 and in 2004 with the UGA Studies Abroad program in Shigaraki, Japan where I learned more about traditional wood firing techniques.My interest in firing with wood began in the 1970’s when I began making burnished forms which were fired in a bonfire. In 1984 I built my first high-fire wood fired kiln at Mercer which I enjoyed firing every term with my students. In 1986 I was invited to help Frank Boyden and Tom Coleman fire the East Creek Anagama in Oregon, a life changing experience which led ultimately to my building my own anagama.In 1988 my wife Sherrie and I moved to a new home near Juliette, GA where I built a studio and began firing salt glazed ware in a small wood-burning kiln. I have operated a wood-fire pottery since then. In 2000 I built a 250 cu. ft. Japanese style anagama kiln which is fired for up to 5 days with wood alone in order to achieve unique natural ash glazing effects. The anagama holds 500 or more pieces and is fired twice a year by a community of potters and friends.I have been making pots for everyday use and special occasions for over 40 years and I still love it.
