2014 Regis Master: Walter Ostrom

SEPTEMBER 26 – NOVEMBER 10, 2014
Emily Galusha Gallery


Walter Ostrom was Northern Clay Center’s 27th Regis Master; he was one of two ceramic artists bestowed with the title in 2014. The other, Adrian Saxe, was featured in an exhibition in spring of 2014. The Regis Masters Series began in 1997, and honors senior artists who have had a major impact on the development of 20th and 21st century ceramics. The Regis Masters Series was originally supported by Regis and Friends and continues today through generous support from Anita Kunin and the Kunin Family, in honor of the late Myron Kunin, a philanthropist and former owner of the Regis Corporation.
