This show will highlight the vibrant diversity of the ceramics community active here on the Cape. Participants Linda Bender, Sarah Caruso, Kathleen Cumming, Joe Fattori, Laurie Goldman, Diane Heart, Jeanmarie O’Clair, Kim Sheerin, Sue Wadoski and Susan Dimm Williams work in a rich variety of styles. Some hand build their work from slabs of clay, while others use a potters’ wheel to smoothly form vessels from porcelain or terracotta. Some decorate their work with intricate “sgraffito” carvings or “mishima” incisions or stamps. Others explore the seemingly infinite artistic possibilities of different glazes and firing techniques

What they have in common is that all 10 artists are members of the “Cape Cod Clay Club”, an informal group of local potters which meets monthly throughout the year. This event, organized by the artists themselves, is a rare opportunity to see so many different kinds of pottery on exhibit and for sale in a single Cape venue.

Please join us Friday evening, May 13th pm for an Opening Reception 5:00-7:00. This is a community event. Come celebrate art making on the Cape with us! Free and open to the public.

Then on Saturday May 14, All the artists will be in attendance throughout the show 10 am-5 pm to answer questions about pottery and discuss their work with you.

*The Cape Cod Clay Club is open to all with a passion for working in clay. The Club is a place where artists and artisans who typically work alone can get together to share experiences, look for advice, and generally provide mutual support and guidance. Club members include seasoned working potters with decades of experience as well as hobbyists and newcomers who have only recently been inspired to delve into pottery. Meetings are the first Monday of the month and are currently held at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. All are welcome.
