#thankful

DEAR FRIEND, The holidays are upon us – and as you can tell from the cover, there’s so much to do and see this December. In keeping with the numerical theme of this month’s magazine, I’d like to count down our five proudest accomplishments of 2019. Here they are: Norm Silverstein 1. T he Acquisition of CITY Newspaper: In the spring, WXXI acquired CITY Newspaper after being approached by Mary Anna and Bill Towler, who wanted to be sure that their weekly newspaper continued after their retirement. This acquisition has helped both entities expand coverage of politics, culture, arts and our neighborhoods. Shortly after the acquisition, we announced that longtime CITY reporter Jeremy Moule was promoted to news editor and that popular local columnist and reporter David Andreatta was hired to succeed Mary Anna as editor.

2. S esame Street 50th Anniversary: This year marked Sesame Street’s 50th anniversary and we have been celebrating all year long. We kicked things off with Sesame Street Day with the Red Wings at Frontier Field, which included a stadium-wide sing-a-long of Sunny Days. We hosted a Cookie Monster Bash at the Rochester Central Library, where nearly 3,000 “Cookie Fans” enjoyed a fun-filled day of Sesame activities and a meet-and-greet with the monster himself. We also hosted a Sesame Street Party for Grown-Ups and brought in Joe Fielder, trombonist and musical arranger for Sesame Street, to perform classics from the beloved children’s show. This month, our education team is hosting a special Super Saturday with Super Grover 2.0 as part of our Sesame Street in Communities Rural Outreach Initiative.

3. D ocumentary Films: The Little Theatre saw a resurgence in documentary films, as it continued its commitment to bringing audiences’ festival favorites and award winners. This included: Won’t You Be My Neighbor, which had a special sold-out screening and Skype with Mister Rogers Neighborhood producer Mary Witmer, followed by a successful 10-week run. RBG, the official selection for The Little’s One Take Film Festival, featured a sold-out show and Skype with the co-director, followed by a well-attended seven-week run, and MOVE, part of The Little’s year-long Black Cinema Series, drew 400+ attendees who came to see the film about the aftermath of the 2017 shooting at the Rochester Boys & Girls Club, and to hear from local director Tam Little.

4. M ove to Include: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting awarded WXXI a grant to lead five public television stations in a national pilot to expand our Move to Include initiative, a partnership with the Golisano Foundation. With experience in programming and producing disability-related content, we are guiding these stations in production, curation, and engagement to promote inclusion in communities across the country.

5. I ncreased Arts Coverage: Dedicated to spotlighting the arts and vibrant cultural life in Rochester, WXXI News expanded coverage of the arts – which included the hiring of veteran arts reporter Jeff Spevak and award-winning photojournalist and videographer Max Schulte. The acquisition of CITY certainly underscored our commitment to the arts, as the experience and quality that CITY brings is being recognized throughout the community.

From trusted and balanced news reporting, to Classical 91.5’s local hosts and productions, to the great music you hear on WRUR, to all the programming we present on TV and at The Little, it has truly been a great year. This important work would not be possible without your support, and for that, we thank you.

Warmest holiday wishes and all the best for the New Year!

Best regards,

14.

Q&A with a WXXI CORPORATE SPONSOR STUDIO SALES POTTERY is a studio, gallery, community classroom and full service ceramic

supply that has been operating in Avon, NY for over thirty years. Owner, Michael Carroll, has been throwing clay professionally for even longer. His work has been exhibited throughout the country and has made it to every continent except Antarctica. This month, WXXI connects with Michael to learn more about the art of pottery and the offerings at Studio Sales Pottery.

MICHAEL CARROLL OWNER

Q. How did you get started with pottery? And what pieces do you most enjoy making now?

I started making pottery while in Rush Henrietta Junior High. Later in high school I was able to take ceramic classes at R.I.T.’s College of Continuing Education. I went on to study Studio Arts at Nazareth College. I enjoy all aspects of working with clay. My favorite tools are the potter’s wheel and my wood fired kiln and my favorite forms are bowls and mugs.

Q. What advice would you give to someone who is just beginning and would like to learn pottery?

Expect to get messy and work with your mind, body and spirit. Working with clay is a thoughtful, in-the-moment process and can require simultaneous muscle and fine motor skills to figure out the expression and beauty.

Q. Can you share more about your studio class offerings?

I offer regular ten week classes in the winter, spring and fall with a shorter six or eight week offering in the summer. Currently there are eight spots available in each class. There is usually a rolling core of students and a few spots open each session.

Q. What do you feel best characterizes an excellent piece of pottery?

Good composition - form, line and surface all working together to achieve function and or beauty.

Q. Holiday gift recommendations from your gallery store?

Working on cookie trays! Platters and bowls in a variety of sizes and colors. All hand-made from raw clay to kiln opening.

Q. Anything else you’d like readers to know?

The Western New York Pottery Festival! This juried festival is held every June over the Father’s Day weekend at Studio Sales Pottery and showcases pottery, sculpture and tile work from artists in WNY, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina.

In addition to these mini-celebrations, WXXI will host Super Saturday with Super Grover 2.0 on December 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Finger Lakes Community College, where families from rural communities will enjoy a day of celebrating early learning with activity stations and learning experiences hosted by librarians from Pioneer Library System and pre-service educators from FLCC. Plus, families will have a chance to meet Super Grover.
