help support Centered: Mud and Movement Arts at Taos Clay
Taos Clay Studio is a ceramic art center dedicated to the spread of
contemporary clay culture within Taos County, and across the country. We
are a community-based organization hosting lectures, workshops, and
events to promote art education and hands on learning. We foster an
environment of creativity catering to all ages and skill levels.
Founded
twelve years ago by Page Patterson Taos Clay has been making an impact
on the local art scene since its doors opened. In April of last year the
studio underwent a major change when Brandi Jessup our current owner
and director purchased the studio from local artist and entrepreneur
Logan Wannamaker. Building on twelve years of history and awesome, we
are growing at a rate we never could have anticipated!
We firmly
believe in the power and importance of arts education and its ability to
impact lives. Through memberships and classes, internships and
residencies, we build opportunities for lifelong learning and
experimentation in the visual arts.
In January of this year we
partnered with Travis Webb of Accelerated Kinetic Arts to open a second
space dedicated to bringing artists of all media together.
The
AKA Studio is a think tank for artists, business people, martial
artists, actors, dancers, and creative people of all backgrounds and
skills to come together. We create conversation and connect the dots
between media to generate both artistic and economic impact!

Both Artist & Mother (NCECA)
Curated by Kate Fisher
In our contemporary ceramic community, many women have gracefully
tackled the lively experiment that is being both artist and mother.
These dual roles simultaneously impact each other both practically and
conceptually. As many women have discovered, to experience maternity is
to epitomize the vessel. This along with clay’s often-recognized
metaphoric relationship to the stages of life itself provides artists
who utilize clay in their work a unique perspective on the
art/motherhood lively experiment.
Over the past year, Kate Fisher has been surveying, interviewing and
documenting a cross section of ceramic artists who are also mothers.
Examining how children, or the circumstances of their lives as they
include them, changed and impacted the work these artists choose to make
and/or how they make it. This exhibition features the women of Kate’s
research collaborations and the creative work they make in their studio
practices.
Participating Artists:
(Interviewed Mothers)
Jen Allen, Kate Fisher, Erin Furminsky, Molly Hatch, Alicia Mack,
Jess Parker, Kristin Pavelka, Amy Smith, Mikey Walsh, Rhonda Willers,

FLUID @ Eutectic Gallery

artists explore the juxtaposition of structure and rigidity, and the
fluidity of the surfaces in a very different style, but both result in
lush, luminous surfaces.
