Gulf Coast State College, Amelia Center
Gallery is hosting a juried exhibition that explores the idea of the
drinking vessel. The exhibition will focus on the function and concept
of the drinking vessel, including its relation to history, politics,
craft, technology, utility, and narrative. The goal is to offer a survey
of the wide array of approaches to contemporary ceramics through the
lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel, the cup.

Archie Bray Foundation, and the Danish Ceramic Research Center at
Guldagergaard. He has worked as a production potter at Black Mountain
Studios, Asheville, NC, and most recently as Educational Director at
Pottery Workshop Shanghai, Shanghai, China. In 2004 Ben opened Carter
Pottery and has since been exhibiting widely across the US and abroad.

world including the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia,
