SUMMARY:Clay and Community
DESCRIPTION:September marks a return to connection — to studios\, to collaboration\, to the collective rhythm of making. “Clay and Community” celebrates the relationships that sustain the ceramic world: between artists and mentors\, students and teachers\, makers and collectors. The exhibition features group works\, collaborative projects\, and shared studio practices that highlight the social heart of the craft. Visitors are invited to reflect on how clay brings people together — in the passing of techniques\, the sharing of kilns\, the joy of opening a firing together. “Clay and Community” reminds us that while every piece is made by individual hands\, the art of ceramics thrives in conversation and shared experience. In conjunction with Art Safari. With the Ceramic Guild.

SUMMARY:Nocturnal: Things that go Bump in the Night

See plates layered with glass stripng\, mummy eyes aglow. Find a face jug agape\, thought to ward off evil spirits. Woodfire pottery emerges gnarly and magnificent from the kiln\, their surfaces wearing the night’s own palette: ash and char\, smoke and shadow. Painting turns aggressive\, depicting subjects dramatically with light and dark. See a white piebald deer against the void of midnight\, a prowling tiger\, glowing fireflies.
