Chris Bolton Opening Night Reception

The Dalles Art Center in partnership with Columbia Gorge Community College is pleased to present Quinquinquagenary: 55 Years of Playing with Dirt. A Retrospective of Ceramic Work by Chris Bolton.

Chris has spent the last 5.5 decades exploring clay and ceramic arts or as he likes t say, “after exploring all the various art classes at my local Community College, in 1969 a chance encounter with the college pottery studio led me into the lucrative world of ceramics where success has often earned me literally hundreds of dollars a year.” Chris has worked in nearly all variations of the ceramic medium from sagger firing and raku, through salt firing, soda firing, wood firing and high fire gas reduction to basic electric kiln firing.

The opening night reception is a celebration of the artist's creativity and a way for the public to meet the artists. Please join us for this free event.
