Arts and Heritage Center in North Augusta, SC, Features Works by Clay Artists of the Southeast

The Arts and Heritage Center in North Augusta, SC, will present Expect the Unexpected, an exhibit of ceramic art by members of Clay Artists of the Southeast (CASE), on view from Sept. 6 through Oct. 29, 2011. A reception will be held on Sept. 29, from 6-8pm.

CASE members have organized the exhibition as part of this year’s Westobou Festival held on Augusta, GA. These functional and/or sculptural pieces have a whimsical and/or unexpected element in their design or purpose and showcase the exceptionally talented group of clay artists from the CSRA region.

This exhibition is testimony to the versatile nature of clay and those persons who have chosen ceramics as their means of aesthetic expression. Each piece is an individual, one-of-a-kind work of art. The artists’ educational and social backgrounds are as diverse as the clay objects they produce. The methods, techniques, materials and tools used cover the gamut of ceramic practice.

Come and examine each work carefully and witness the fine quality as well as the creative response to a wide variety of forms and topics. Some of the pieces are humorous while others more conceptual. You will find examples of excellent craftsmanship all tied to the broad concept of Expect the Unexpected. All of the works are for sale.

For further information check our SC Institutional Gallery listings, call the Center at 803/441-4380 or visit (www.artsandheritagecenter.com). For information about CASE visit (www.clayartistsofthesoutheast.com).
