Echoes: Alumni Voices in Clay gathers the work of CCS Ceramics alumni whose practices continue to expand the field of contemporary ceramics. Their approaches reflect both continuity and change—shaped in part by their time at CCS, but equally by the personal experiences, cultural influences, and creative communities that inform their work today. Each artist builds upon a foundation of skill and inquiry while forging distinct paths that embody personal vision, cultural perspective, and material innovation.
The exhibition features a wide spectrum of approaches, from functional pottery to sculpture, installation, mixed media, and experimental processes. In their diversity, these works act as echoes of the past while opening space for future possibilities, showing how clay becomes a language of storytelling, interpretation, and lived experience.
Echoes highlights the voices of CCS alumni while fostering dialogue across generations. The exhibition celebrates both connection and expansion, acknowledging roots in Detroit’s creative community while recognizing how alumni amplify their practices within the national ceramics landscape.
