We’re kicking off our fall season of Clay & Conversations with Resident artist alumni and Gallery artist, Celia Feldberg(Celia Feldberg Ceramics)!

Celia will talk about her current exhibition in our Gallery, Getting There, and her process of making the artwork for it.

Join us in person on the 4th floor of our building, or online via zoom. See you there!

“My work incorporates narrative imagery, playful humor, and bright color on ceramic forms to invite connection and impart joy. The pieces themselves are often functional or made for the wall, intended to become part of a home where they can be seen and engaged with often.”

We’ve updated our Glaze Wall!🌈

Each tile shows different glaze combos on both light and dark clays, and how they look fired in our electric and gas kilns. What more could you ask for?!

Want to experience the magic of the glaze wall yourself? There’s still time to register for a fall class and get creative with your glazes!

We owe a huge shoutout to our wonderful team of studio techs, education team, and graphic designer for making it happen👏🏼
