Opening Reception: March 12, 5-7pm
Gallery Hours: Mondays through Saturdays, 10 am-4 pm
This show is scheduled to coincide with NCECA conference (March 31-April 3) to be held in Philadelphia. Each member of a local group of ceramic artist, Claybody, has invited other ceramic artists from the Southeastern Pennsylvania region. It is meant as a companion to the Claybody exhibit show in center city Philadelphia entitled Out of Place: Clay and Context to be held during the conference. Claybody seeks to engage other ceramic artists’ perspectives who share the inspiration of our unique spot on the globe while expanding the interest the conference ignites to include Chester County and surrounding communities.
