Plinth Gallery presents “Women Working with Clay” an exhibition of 14 prominent women working in the field of ceramics.

Gallery Opening: First Friday August 1, 6pm-9pm

Long before the introduction or invention of the potter’s wheel, women were the potters in all cultures allowing men to be the hunter/gatherers. While in modern day cultures both men and women are vessel makers, the importance of women in the pottery making tradition is highly influential in bringing a feminine aesthetic and reference to ceramics.

Curated by acclaimed ceramic artists Dara Hartman (image shown) and Donna Polseno, Plinth Gallery has invited 14 nationally known ceramic makers for this 2-month exhibition. This show highlights the multifaceted and committed approaches to women working with ceramics. A wide variety of techniques including hand building, slip casting, and wheel-throwing will be featured in this timely exhibition.
