Authentic ceramic art and design from the mid-century to contemporary. Over fifty years of ceramic art and design expressed with uniquely American artistic individuality has resulted in the collectible lines of stoneware wildlife sculpture and ceramic functional form. presented here in the Andersen Studio Ceramic Stoneware Art And Design Gallery.Original designs in the cool and restful colors of the Maine Coast, these ceramic stoneware animals, birds, bowls , and vases, are taking their places in the age old history of crafts and technology in clay and related minerals.
The original hand made sculptures are reproduced in plaster moulds by skilled New England artisans, using a stoneware slip casting method. Ceramic artisans then fettle (hand finish) the individual shapes before they are bisque fired, i.e., fired just hard enough for decorating and glazing.
After hand decorating in which designs are painted freehand in wax and under-glaze colors, the ceramics are hand dipped in the unique Andersen glazes and fired to a temperature of 2200 degrees, They are then finished and graded before going to the collector.
Andersen Studio was established in the mid-twentieth century as Ceramics By Andersen. Weston and Brenda Andersen were emerging artist-designers in the mid-century urban designer movement. Weston Andersen studied ceramic production under Eva Zeisel in a landmark ceramic production class at Pratt Institute. The Andersen’s received a young designers award in Living magazine for their egg shaped vase with lip
Andersen stoneware took it’s own unique path when they set up their own hands- on hand-crafted ceramic production studio on the coast of Maine. Ceramics by Andersen arrived in Maine with a line of mid-century classic ceramic stoneware vases, bowls and functional designs. The natural environment of Maine inspired a line of wildlife ceramic stoneware sculpture and ceramic art. Ceramics by Andersen became the Andersen Studio retail ceramic art and design gallery and Andersen Design, the wholesale line of classic stoneware ceramic art and design. The Andersen’s pioneered a ceramic studio industry in the Boothbay Region on the coast of Maine.
Weston and Brenda Andersen began designing and handcrafting Andersen Stoneware in their small Maine ceramic production studio in the mid-century (1952). Their first ceramic art gallery, Ceramics by Andersen, was located in a two hundred year old barn, along a country road on Southport Island, Maine .
The second generation of six, Elise, Mackenzie , Christine, Karen, Gerda and Iain, have contributed ceramic designs and development. Andersen Design Ceramic Studio Production and the Andersen Studio Ceramic Art and Design Gallery all continue at the original location in East Boothbay. Maine, USA
