Celebrating the Ceramic Culture of Northern Ohio.

April 10-May 15, 2010

Opening Saturday, April 10, 2010, 3-7pm.

This exhibit collects work by studio artists who call the area home and the faculty and alumni of Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland State University , Kent State University & Bowling Green University.

We sought out work that demonstrates the dual influences of an artist’s vision and the functional nature of vessels. Artists challenging and re-interpreting the tenets of function is what makes this work so intriguing.
