SUMMARY:Celebrate Pantone’s "Cloud Dancer” with Ethereal White
DESCRIPTION:Woodfired vase with light ash glazing echoes birch by Brian Grow of Alexandria\, Va. \nGeometric patterned stoneware lamp with incised detailing in contrasting black and white by Laura Fall of Arlington\, Va. \nFire On Studio 22 at the Torpedo Factory Art Center presents “Cloud Dancer\,” a winter exhibition celebrating Pantone’s boldly minimalist 2026 Color of the Year. In a delightful ironic twist\, the world’s color authority has declared that 2026 belongs to… white. Not ivory\, cream or eggshell but gloriously\, unapologetically white. \nArtists are having the last laugh\, as white has been a foundational canvas for millennia. \n“Cloud Dancer” showcases the subtle sophistication of white stoneware and porcelain\, atmospheric glazing techniques and ethereal effects that prove white is far from vanilla.  \nSee silky porcelain at the height of elegance that seem to float with weightless grace yet boast unquestioned durability. Marvel at pitfired vessels where smoke and flame leave whispered traces\, creating celestial swirls reminiscent of cumulus formations at sunset. \nFind kilnformed glass in a pure icy white finish or marbled and juxtaposed with clear and cool hues. Diachomatic glass jewelry is studded with mesmerizing metallic flecks and iridescence. Find fantastical flowing hearts\, milky trays and creamy accents echoing a quiet magnificence. \nBrown stoneware Chinese brushpainted plate with ‘Emerald Soar’ ink and colored pigments on silk by Tracie Griffith Tso of Reston\, Va. \nSee white accents and detailing in oil compositions\, eco-prints and wall-hung 3-D creations. Floating feather and ginkgo leaf silhouettes shine from depths of indigo. Minimalist white in a contemporary silhouette harmonizes with detail and motifs in lamps and dishware that add an artistic spark to interiors. \nTracie Griffith Tso @traciegriffithtso takes center stage with her masterful white stoneware works\, where delicate Chinese brushwork dances across pale surfaces. Utilityware local-themed pottery and hand textured and patterned lamps by Laura Fall @laurafallceramicss shimmer with personality. Scott Kaye @scottkayepottery speaks to minimalism in miniature pots and classic functional dishware. Brian Grow @b.d.grow explores atmospheric woodfiring effects\, where ash kisses white clay in spontaneous\, natural gestures. Elke Seefeldt @rayelke offers smoky piltfiring and playful porcelain with an organic sensibility. Sandi Martina @sandimartina_glass manipulates glass with vision\, both frosted and clear echoing the soft\, diffused light of overcast days. \nCome for the cheeky celebration of “color” that isn’t color. Stay for stunning proof that white contains multitudes—from the crisp bite of fresh snow to the soft embrace of fog\, from the sharp clarity of winter sun on porcelain to the mysterious depth of moon-glow effects. \nAlabaster woodfired mugs by Brian Grow of Alexandria\, Va. \nEcoprint of a white feather by Elke Seefeldt of Arlington\, Va. \nWhether you seek functional vessels for daily rituals or statement pieces that elevate any interior\, “Cloud Dancer” offers white in all its nuanced glory. Our ceramic dishware is handcrafted\, microwave- and dishwasher-safe and guaranteed to make Pantone’s minimalist declaration look positively inspired is a plus for the season. \n3-D gallery Fire On Studio 22 offers various treatments of glass\, pottery and more on the first floor of the Torpedo Factory Art Center 11  a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday December 12  for the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s  Late Night event. Also\,visit for February’s Late Night event on Friday February 6 open until 10 p.m. The gallery’s “Cloud Dancer” show runs January 1 through February 28\, 2025. \nFollow @studio.fireon for gallery updates and artist features. \nShino-glazed organic form by Elke Seefeldt of Arlington\, Va. \nA pair of minimalist\, contrasting ceramic hand-dipped tumblers by Scott Kaye of Arlington\, Va. \nHeart bowl\, thrown and altered in alabaster by Laura Fall of Arlington\, Va. \nYear of the Horse painting celebrates Chinese year in original brushwork by Tracie Griffith Tso of Reston\, Va.

SUMMARY:Nikki Giovanni: Immersive Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Nikki Giovanni Immersive Experience combines her poetry (as recorded by Giovanni at different times in her life) with audio soundscapes and motion graphic projections.  \nThis is a Virginia Tech interdisciplinary collaboration between a composer\, designers\, literary experts\, embodied performance artists\, and creative technologists\, converging to create a multi-sensory experience. Each projection is crafted to capture the essence of Giovanni’s poetry\, drawing inspiration from its themes\, imagery\, and rhythmic cadence.  \nAdditionally\, we utilized Virginia Tech’s University Libraries’ motion capture studios\, in collaboration with faculty and students from the School of Performing Arts\, to develop visual avatars featured in select final motion graphic works. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the art on a deeper level\, allowing themselves to be enveloped by the interplay of sight and sound\, word\, and image. \nPresented by the City of Alexandria’s Office of the Arts and Virginia Tech’s Institute for Creativity\, Arts\, and Technology.

Through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice\, attendees will gain an understanding of the hardware\, software\, and creative concepts involved in projection mapping. By the end of the workshop\, participants will be equipped with the skills to experiment with their own projection mapping projects\, blending art\, technology\, and architecture in new and exciting ways. No prior experience is necessary\, though a basic familiarity with design software will be helpful. \nThink Differently – These seminars offer creative professional development at the intersection of art\, innovation\, and daily life. \nThis seminar is designed through creativity between the Institute for Creative\, Arts\, and Technology at Virginia Tech\, Expressions at Amazon Arlington\, and the City of Alexandria’s Office of the Arts. \nRegister Here
