I was priviledged to be invited as an Artist in Residence at The Clay Studio in 2012 and again in 2023.​ For the first time in 2023, I used a 3D Potter to produce statues printed directly in clay. For this series, I focused on accepting the "mistakes" of the printer as aesthetic choices, integrating external supports, and utilising 3D printing for all of the elements. My work, A Star is Born", made at the Clay Studio in 2023 using the 3D-Potter, represents a new approach.

 

This Alumni Exhibition showcases artwork to reflect the current practice of the over 150 artist who have participated in The Clay Studio's Resident Artist Program, Guest Artist Program, and Associate Artist Program over the 50 years since its founding.

The artists who work within the walls of The Clay Studio are the creative engine that keeps the organization going and focused on supporting professional artists at all levels, emerging, mid-career, and established. We are thrilled to bring together over 100 of the artists who have had meaningful, sometimes career-altering experiences at The Clay Studio while also sharing their creativity and inspiration with our entire community.
