Lincoln Square Pottery Studio - Learning Center is celebrating its 21st Anniversary this year. Join us for our Sale and Show featuring original artwork, live pottery competitions and an overall evening of fun!April is the time of year when Spring Fever sets in at the studio. The creativity that flourishes after the long grey Chicago winters manifest in our kilns. Bud vases, planters and objects that hold new growth get stacked high on the shelves for firing. These inventive clay creations will be available during our event on April 27th from 5-9pm.
Celebrating year 21 of the studio’s operation focuses on the most important part of the non-profit’s asset; its students. More than forty dedicated display spaces are filled with artwork for the event. Showcasing students’ work is a year-round tradition, but the Anniversary Sale puts an extra spotlight on their one-of-a-kind pieces.
This year there is an abundance of new designs. Planters that double as bookends by Richard Zeid, mysterious cauldrons for growing herbs by Alex Bohanan and vessels with riotous colors by Chris Edwards. Unbelievably artful coffee mugs, bowls and butter bells make up just a small amount of the beautiful utilitarian kitchen objects available. Sculptures, wall art, smoking accessories and tongue-in-cheek objects also bear a strong presence.
�Along with the sale, there will be a pottery “throw-down” style event! Our students compete on the pottery wheel, whipping out the tallest vessel in just 4 minutes time, as well as hand building clay sculptures with hilarious themes. The cheering and chanting that happens during these competitions rattle the vases on our shelves!
�The studio’s Buy-A-Cup Benefit gives the attendees a chance to donate and take home a hand-made piece. The money raised during the show will build up the studio’s scholarship fund, which helps students maintain their classes during hard financial times. This event is free and open to the public.
Join us for artful fun on Saturday, April 27th from 5-9pm. The studio is located at 4150 N. Lincoln Ave in Chicago Illinois, 60618. For questions please call 773-248-4430 - or email [email protected] - see you there!
