Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Katie Wargo makes excellent work. She may be hard to find, but here in Orlando all the best things are, a little bit at least. I love having a place to lift that up. I grew up on scrappy punk rock shows. You go if you know. We still have that here. Every day of the week. Thanks always, Chins up xo 0230
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 03/02/2025We kicked off the year at Crossdraft Gallery with the exhibition “We’re All Friends Here” by @dolomite78.bsky.social and featuring work made by Ian and a selection of folks he’s befriended in the PNW. It was lovely, and you can read all about it here: www.crossdraftgallery.com/exhibitions/... 0161

Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 02/02/2025I do make cups and stuff, I promise. But I really love forms that leave the field for function open: Vases, boxes, censers, platters. These open ended containers allow for endless play on my end and versatile use on the owners’ end. It’s a collaborative field and I love that. Do what you want 💖 1421
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Little teeny tiny box. One time I went into the gallery to clean and stuff and I opened a small box like this and found the remnants of a lovely pinner that one of our guests thoughtfully left behind and that’s why DIY spaces rule so I gave it to my gallery neighbor and they were happy. Friends. 0110
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 02/02/2025The Orlando museum of art has a Crass poster up on their walls. Wild times, yall. Yes sir, I will. 020
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 01/02/2025These boxes are a product of my earliest foray into making work that was less than traditionally functional. I was a studio tech and as such, recycled a lot of clay. The mindless act of chopping and wedging let me see clay in a way I hadn’t before. I’ve been chasing that place of new vision since. 2291
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 01/02/2025I discovered these forms while prepping clay to make other forms. Sometimes it works that way and I feel lucky when I see it. These are very thoughtfully made by pounding a cedar 4x4 post with a rebar handle into big blocks of clay until it’s just right. And then stopping. Perfect. 1150
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Three boxes. In undergrad I made a lot of solid objects. Bossman was always “you should hollow this out” and I was like “no” and then I left school and was like “what if I hollowed these out” (I made an urn for a friend) and so I did and then people were all “kuriniki” and was like what? Reductive 0180
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 30/01/2025The seasons in Florida often pass more to the rhythm of semesters and as such I find myself revisiting explorations in form accordingly. I made a promise to myself years back to not let teaching dictate my output, but rather to grow it. I found these forms teaching, so now I’m making them w lids. 0180
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I discovered these forms while trying to wrap my head around teaching beginner handbuilding courses and also using that time to make work I’m actually invested in. Which took a good couple of years. Currently making these as lidded boxes. Don’t know til you try. 📦 1130
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Orlando art folks: Crossdraft Gallery is proud to present the work of Katie Wargo for a special one weekend only event. Details and map in the link: www.crossdraftgallery.com/events 051
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 28/01/2025For those local to Orlando, or passing through, I’ll be using this platform to help with promotion and engagement for ceramic exhibitions I host here in town. For y’all not local, I’m building a website. It’s in progress, but let’s throw it into the sky anyway: www.crossdraftgallery.com 1121
Richard Munster @richardmunster.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I think it’s really vital at this juncture that we not give over methods of mass communication and information sharing to the corporate overlords who have provided it to us. I think it’s time to bite the hand that feeds. Hard. But also hi there, Bluesky! 1100
