Bottles | Group Exhibition

Bottles combines a wide range of approaches to the bottle form through contemporary ceramics. The bottle form has been a staple for ceramic artists to create for hundreds of years.  These forms can all at once help decorate a space and be utilitarian. Artists invited to participate in this exhibit utilize various construction techniques and firing methods to create their ceramic vessels.  Bottles will culminate in a rich, and varied grouping of ceramic bottles created by a dynamic roster of artists.

Participating Artists: Ingrid Bathe, Samantha Briegel, Israel Davis, Stuart Gair, Chris Hosbach, Meredith Host, Matt Long, Antonio Martinez, Lorna Meaden, Didem Mert, and Brad Schwieger
