Joy  •  A Clay Spectrum

A Member Show and Sale

May 29 – June 24

Please join us for a First Friday Reception 

June 1  •   5 – 7:30 pm

The creative process is both exhilarating and at times terrifying.  The feeling of clay in your hands, endless discoveries, the gradual mastery of a process, time and space for a completed thought, the physical realization of an idea—such wonder and deep satisfaction. But what should I make, I’m not creative, what if it’s not good, I can’t even draw a straight line, what will I do with all these bowls. There are so many questions and insecurities that keep people from pursuing and enjoying their creative impulses.

People with some previous, even professional clay experience, and others without any clay experience created the work in this show; all of them have responded to a deep call to create. Their work is inspired and born of many failed attempts, disappointing lessons, and triumphant successes—there is great JOY and celebration in this collection of work.
