Join Lindsay Rogers and Samuel Johnson as they explore the expressive potential of clay through forms that push beyond traditional boundaries. Rogers builds dynamic, gestural vessels that feel as though they’re caught mid-movement, while Johnson’s work embraces distortion and spontaneity to create objects that are as emotive as they are functional. Watch as both artists demonstrate how process becomes visible on the surface—through marks, alterations, and intuitive decisions that remain embedded in the finished piece. This demonstration offers a compelling look at how energy, touch, and timing can transform familiar forms into something far more animated and alive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKyoungHwa Oh \u0026amp; Marissa Childers, 11:30am - 12:30pm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eStories in the Surface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStep into a world where every detail carries meaning. KyoungHwa Oh and Marissa Childers create richly narrative ceramics that center identity, memory, and lived experience. Oh’s intricately constructed forms and surfaces weave together personal and cultural histories, while Childers brings a delicate sensitivity to figuration, using pattern and texture to evoke intimacy and care. In this demonstration, both artists will share how they build and develop imagery that goes beyond decoration—becoming an essential part of the form itself. Whether through carved detail, layered surface, or subtle gesture, discover how storytelling can be embedded directly into the clay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelia Feldberg \u0026amp; Taylor Mezo, 1 - 2pm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePicture This\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClay becomes canvas in this image-driven exploration of ceramics with Celia Feldberg and Taylor Mezo. Both artists approach the surface as a site for bold visual storytelling, translating drawing, illustration, and graphic sensibilities into three-dimensional form. Feldberg’s narrative scenes unfold through layered mark-making and sgraffito, while Mezo’s work embraces graphic clarity and composition to create striking, image-forward pieces. Watch as they demonstrate how imagery is planned, transferred, and developed on the surface of clay, and how these decisions interact with form. This session is perfect for anyone interested in expanding their approach to surface as a storytelling tool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePlease register for the appropriate ticket type.

Both artists engage deeply with form, using pattern, repetition, and construction techniques to create work that feels both grounded and in motion. Lindsay’s wheel-thrown and altered forms emphasize balance and flow, while Anderson’s surfaces and structures explore rhythm through layering and mark. Together, they will demonstrate how form and surface evolve in tandem, each informing the other at every stage of making. Join them to see how a sensitivity to rhythm can shape not just decoration, but the very architecture of a piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteven Young Lee \u0026amp; Erica Iman, 11:30am - 12:30pm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eVessels of Meaning\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClay and concept unite in this compelling demonstration by Steven Young Lee and Erica Iman. Lee reinterprets historical ceramics through a contemporary lens, interrupting traditional silhouettes to examine cultural narrative and inherited form. Iman works intuitively with raw earth materials, mimicking nature's processes to create forms that evoke timelessness and inner landscape. Though their conceptual starting points differ, both artists transform clay into something that reaches beyond object: one rooting us in cultural history, the other in the physical and meditative rhythms of the natural world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoug Peltzman \u0026amp; Sara Alfieri, 1 - 2pm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrawn to the Surface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Doug Peltzman and Sara Alfieri, drawing is at the heart of the ceramic experience. Their work transforms everyday functional forms into lively, image-rich objects that invite closer inspection. Peltzman’s loose, energetic linework animates his surfaces with humor and immediacy, while Alfieri’s detailed and thoughtful compositions bring a sense of narrative presence to her pots. In this demonstration, both artists will share how drawing and mark-making evolve alongside form, and how they approach composition on curved surfaces. Whether playful or contemplative, discover how drawing can activate even the most familiar object.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrew McIntyre \u0026amp; Sandra Daulton Shaughnessy, 2:30 - 3:30pm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRhythm \u0026amp; Structure\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePattern, repetition, and form come together in this engaging demonstration by Andrew McIntyre and Sandra Daulton Shaughnessy. Both artists explore the dynamic relationship between structure and surface, creating work where pattern is not simply applied, but integral to the form itself. McIntyre’s precise constructions emphasize rhythm through geometry and repetition, while Daulton Shaughnessy builds richly layered surfaces that move across and respond to the contours of her forms. Watch as they demonstrate how timing, process, and decision-making shape these interactions. This session offers insight into how pattern can guide both the eye and the making process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePlease register for the appropriate ticket type.
