The Potters Council announces it’s first juried exhibition of members’ to be held in conjunction with NCECA 2010 in Philadelphia, PA.
The name of the show is “FILL-adelphia”.
“We challenge our members to create work exploring all the definitions of the word “FILL”. “FILL-adelphia” will be an exhibition of works exploring the idea of holding, enclosure or containment. Interpretations can be as functional as a beer mug, as symbolic as a mother’s arms, or as metaphorical as a box of rain. We hope to see the diversity, skill and commitment of our members expressed through this broad and inclusive theme.”
