August ~ Random Encounters ~ Ceramic work by: Brett Boyer Liz Scavuzzo Artist's Reception: Friday, August 1st, 2008 - 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm Show Runs: August 1st through August 28th Random Encounters Random: without definite aim, direction, rule, or method, lacking a definite plan, purpose, or pattern Encounters: to come upon or experience especially unexpectedly, to meet especially by chance, a particular kind of meeting or experience with another person.   Ceramics is a collaboration of trials and tribulations pushing new and old ideas together, then pulling them back apart. Taking chunks of success and failure and meshing them into something coherent. Random Encounters is a fitting explanation of how this process has unfolded. Liz Scavuzzo and Brett Boyer are two very different clay artists. They have created a body of artwork utilizing such different approaches to clay, that it requires you to see and experience it for it to be understood. Come and see what all has developed so far. . .

JANUARY Ceramic work by Pat Sukiel. Pat Sukiel never paid his commissions to the KC Clay Guild for sales made from using our gallery space. The KC Clay Guild's Centered Earth Gallery will never show his work ever again.   The Centered Earth Gallery has been proudly showing ceramic work by local artists since 1994. Amateur to professional ceramic artists have shown their work here. It is one of ways the KC Clay Guild makes ceramic arts available to the community. Shows typically run for one month and there is usually an opening or a closing reception. At the reception you can meet the artist and socialize with other ceramic art enthusiasts. If you can not make it to an opening reception, the gallery will still be open to the public. Check out the gallery hours to the right and come on down and support your local ceramic artists!
