About The Event
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.
This exhibit will feature work from across his 55 - year career and includes a full range of mediums from his “checkered career as an artiste.”
Opening Night Party: Thursday, February 1st, 5 - 7 pm.
