Opening Reception for Mud: Works in Clay
October 1, 2016, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
FreeIn collaboration with Maine Crafts Association and in conjunction with Maine Craft weekend, Common Street Arts will present works in clay by Maine ceramic artists from throughout the state. This exhibition will be on view from September 29 - November 5.
Clay is transformative. It can take many shapes and forms. Mud dug from the earth is transformed into works of art, from dishware that we use in our daily lives to surrealistic sculptural forms that come from the creator's deepest creative source.
At Common Street Arts Gallery mud exhibition, we will present both functional pieces and form (sculptural) pieces from over twenty artists around the state of Maine including: low fire, stoneware, wood-fired, raku, traditional, contemporary, and creative works taking all shapes and styles. Tiles, busts, pots, and globes. We could go on but really you should see it for yourself! The mud exhibition will display wheel thrown forms, hand-built sculptures and vessels, as well as altered functional forms reconfigured into sculptural works. Get dirty. Come experience mud.
