As an amalgamation of surface, color, texture, and mass, clay in its fired state is potentially one of the richest art mediums. This exhibition will show why artists working in clay are celebrated for the innovative ways in which they take advantage of the sculptural and painterly opportunities ceramics offer to create varied and distinctive new vessels.
This juried exhibition will explore the breadth of contemporary ceramic pots and vessels as utilitarian and aesthetic objects, revealing the ever-developing synergy of clay, glaze, and heat.

I love long weekends, extra sleep in time, they always seem more relaxed and they always seem to equate to more time in the studio for me. So i’ve been a busy bee, well when I wasn’t sitting and digesting way too much yummy food! Every thanksgiving for me is such a reminder of how blessed my life has been thus far, and while I have many personal things to be thankful for, I wanted to mention publicly how thankful I am to all of you who have been reading the blog over the last few years. You all have made my job very rewarding, so thank you, each and everyone of you!
And in honor of Thanksgiving I figured I had to find some ceramic turkeys for you.
