Things are not what they seem with a medium that is so elastic and plastic it can masterfully mimic other materials. Spinning is in as pots are made to look wooden, marbleized and made of glass. Surfaces appear cosmic or environmental, metallic or made of paper. Clay is interpretive, showing a range of possibilities.

From hand painted surfaces to decal compositions, artists give rapt attention to the details of detailing. Why be plain when it can be patterned? Our educational show of striping, dotting, trailing, hatching and illustrative aspects are all included and explained. With the Ceramic Guild

Potters love their pets, and express adoration of all things animal on bowls, plates and in sculpture. While some might not give a whisker, we do!
