Art in the middle of war.

UKRAINIAN porcelain is still here, this is our art today.
Everybody knows that porcelain is breakable, but it is also extremely tough. Pieces and chips of porcelain can withstand the fire of crematorium and thousands of years of burial, and they can still be restored. Ukraine is just like porcelain. It can be broken, but it cannot be destroyed.

Dear friends,
Many of you have asked us to stay in a sheltered place. However, there are no sheltered places anymore in the country attacked by a new Hi**er whose aim is to annihilate it.
We must fight for our lives, for our nation. And we will win.

SAVE THE DATE: March 25th & 26th

Our 4th Friday Featured Artist for March will be Denise Jordan aka The Clay Goddess. Denise will be on hand to tell you all about her pottery and her process.

Denise Jordan (Bramley), is a ceramic artist based out of Wilmington North Carolina. The Clay Goddess (and she lives up to that title) has been a potter since 1986 and earned her BFA in Ceramics and Art Education from ECU. While in school, she had the honor of being studio mates with Ben Owen III, who introduced her to Seagrove and it’s historic pottery tradition! Over the years, Denise’s work has been influenced by the water she has lived near. Ocean, river or lake, you will see and feel the waves in her creations!
