Clay Feild Trip with Michelle Ettrick

t’s time for our next Talking Clay Field Trip Webinar! Hosted by Simon Levin and Jennifer Harnetty, this field trip will be heading to Tyrone, Pennsylvania, to chat with artist and educator Michelle Ettrick! This free webinar will be held on Monday, October 5th at 1 pm EDT USA.

Michelle’s work spreads a message of empowerment—of never giving up, even when the odds are stacked are against you. We’ll discuss how her own story reflects that message. She’ll also demonstrate some of her techniques for drawing on the clay surface!

Did we mention, it’s free? Save your spot today!

The Talking Clay Field Trip series was started in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, as a learning tool for potters who were suddenly left without access to a studio, or students and teachers who found themselves thrust into remote learning. We hope it helps provide a sense of connection with your fellow clay artists! Find other installments of the Talking Clay Field Trip series on CLAYflicks!

UPCOMING NCECA OPPORTUNITY DEADLINES 

2021 ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Deadline, October 7, 2020
The 2021 NCECA Annual will run from February 5- March 28, 2021 at the Weston Art Gallery, Aronoff Center for the Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio. Exhibition Curator Shannon Rae Stratton shares that according to physician’s Vivek H. Murthy and Alice Chen, the corona virus could cause what is being called a “social recession.” They speak about how the longer we go without personal contact, the more social bonds fray and unravel, leading to harmful effects on mood, health, our ability to learn and work, and our overall sense of community. Many artists working in craft value the field for its history of peer-to-peer exchange, mentorship, functionality and proximity to the body. It’s a field that identifies itself with connection and touch, with craft objects – whether functional design or conceptual art – often serving social functions. This call invites artists to consider the tension between together and apart, interdependence, belonging, hospitality and modes of support that allow people to extend themselves with mindfulness and compassion towards each other and to the non-human world. We encourage submissions that deal with collective grief and mourning, rage, empowerment, joy, care and compassion – but all through work grounded in connection, interdependence and the social.
