Nevada Clay Guild Calendar of Events 2011-2012
Fifth Annual Juried Members Show: "Diversity in Clay by Members of the Nevada Clay Guild" December 8, 2011 – February 5, 2012 The goal of the Nevada Clay Guild is to inspire excellence and growth in clay art through education, exhibitions and a cooperative spirit. Our members work with various clays- earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain. We fire and decorate our ceramics at a variety of temperatures, using electric, gas, propane, wood and soda kilns as well as pit firing and raku firing. Our work may be functional, decorative or sculptural. Some of the members throw on the potter’s wheel, others hand build, and many combine methods of construction. This year our exhibit is juried by professional potter, Jason Hess, Associate Professor in the School of Art at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ. Please join us at the reception. We are also proud sponsors of the annual Nevada’s Empty Bowls Benefit in which we raised over $30,000 to feed the hungry in Las Vegas in 2011. The next Empty Bowls benefit will be on March 10, 2012, at Green Valley High School.
