Center for Craft, Creativity and Design in Hendersonville, NC, Offers Clay Exhibit
Center for Craft, Creativity and Design in Hendersonville, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Sculptural/Functional, featuring works in clay by UNC-Asheville faculty, students, and alumni, on view through Feb. 16, 2007. The exhibit will include works by twenty-one clay artists. The exhibit was curated by Megan Wolfe.
Wolfe, now in her 10th year as clay faculty at UNC-Asheville, is responsible for the amazing growth of the clay program, in part because her teaching style encourages students to explore and develop their own unique artistic approach to ceramics. This is very evident in this exhibit that ranges from delicate porcelain functional dinnerware, to figurative sculpture of paper clay, and work fired in the large UNC-Asheville anagama wood-fire kiln.
Laura Aultman, received her MFA from the University of Florida, after graduating with a BFA in ceramics from UNC-Asheville, and returned to teach during Wolfe's 2006-07 sabbatical.
Alumni participating in the exhibit include: Kyle Carpenter, Terrell Whitworth, Jason Whiterspoon, Maria Andrade Troya, Annie Singletary, Heather Knight, Cheryl Andrews, Sahar Al-Abed Fakhoury, and Matt Jacobs.
Students participating in the exhibit include: Will Rogers, Ben Crowfoot, Charla Wall, Michael Cole, Jay Roberts, Lillian Byers, Peter Wentz, Josh Copus, Sean Fairbridge, and Amanda Meyers.
