Formed & Fired

Formed & Fired brings together the work of the Potters Guild in a celebration of clay in all its transformative beauty. From the earliest pinch of earth to the intensity of the kiln, each piece in this exhibition tells a story of process, patience, and touch.

This collection highlights the incredible range of contemporary ceramics being created in our region— functional vessels, sculptural forms, and everything in between. You’ll find surfaces that are smooth and refined, others that embrace texture and imperfection, all shaped by hand and fire.

Clay holds memories. It records every gesture, every mark, every moment of making. In Formed & Fired, those moments come together to reflect both individual artistic voices and the shared tradition of working with one of the oldest and most enduring materials.

We are so excited to partner with the Potters Guild to bring this thoughtful and tactile exhibition to the ShenArts…
