NOVEMBER 17 – DECEMBER 31
Main Gallery
As we welcomed autumn, it was time to come celebrate the festive season! Northern Clay Center’s 2024 Winter Open House took place on Sunday, November 17, and it was a record-setting season of volunteering, gallery guests, and income for the gallery artists.
Winter is the season to share your curiosity and clay appreciation with those you love! We offered over 1,000 more pots, sculptures, and jewelry that is typical just in time for gift giving. We featured local artists, as well as those who hail from all over the US, and who represented a diverse range of cultures, races, identities, and lived experiences. Every purchase helped us to continue programming and financially support the individual artists in the exhibition!
Winter Mugs 2024
This year’s special edition winter mugs were created by two well-loved artists from our local community: Sean Lofton, talented NCC studio artist and Artist Services Manager, and Samantha Gonzalez Longley, gifted potter and art educator at Silverwood Park. $29 each.
Each mug included the artist’s biography and their favorite mug-worthy recipe! It was the perfect gift for corporate clients, friends, teachers, family, or your very own mug collection. As in past years, the 2024 series was a limited run, so they didn’t last long!
