What leads an artist to work in clay? How does an artist develop their artistic voice and practice in clay? In this series, we’ll learn through conversation with eight multicultural contemporary artists and educators who use clay in ways that are functional, sculptural or performative. Each artist will present their work through images or a brief demo and host Fabio J. Fernández will guide the discussion through a range of topics including access, mentorship, and community.

Roberto Lugo, Saturday, March 6
Linda Lopez, Saturday, March 27
Paul Andrew Wandless, Saturday, April 3
Syd Carpenter, Saturday, April 10
Shawanda Corbett, Saturday, April 17
