VISITING ARTIST SERIES
Join us this winter for a lecture and workshop series featuring four ceramic artists who will share their creative journeys and artistic expertise. Each session offers an artist’s presentation with an intimate Q&A session as well as a demonstration of techniques that are essential components of their studio practice.
Hosted at Fall Kill Clay Studio, these sessions provide a rare opportunity to engage with practicing artists, gain insights into their techniques, and understand the evolution of a cohesive body of work.
