Community Cups

Clay Art Center is pleased to announce that 2007 marks its 50 th year! To celebrate, Clay Art Center has planned a whole year of exhibitions that highlight its illustrious history. To start, Clay Art Center will be hosting Cups Coming Together , an exhibition featuring 200 cups/drinking vessels by 200 current and past CAC members, and artists who have exhibited or led workshops at CAC over the past 50 years. This coming together of artists will generate a lively and diverse exhibit of functional and sculptural cups, simultaneously creating a visual history of Clay Art Center’s 50 years. The exhibit will run from February 3 - 24, 2007 with an opening reception and celebration on Saturday, February 3 from 6-8pm. Additionally, in the Henry’s Project exhibition space (upstairs), we will be exhibiting Community Cups , a display of cups made by children in Clay Art Center’s Outreach programs. Admission to both exhibits is free.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Chris Staley will be leading a one-day demonstration workshop on Saturday, February 3 from 10am - 5pm entitled, “Making Pots with Meaning.” For more information or to register, call 410-937-2047 or visit www.clayartcenter.org/workshops.html.

Katherine Choy and Henry Okamoto founded the Clay Art Center in 1957. Since its inception, it has been a haven for numerous clay artists. We continue to this day, with our mission of advancing the ceramic arts and enriching the community with exciting clay related activities.
