Thursday, June 11

“We are excited (and the right kind of nervous with anticipation) as we set off to do the combination and collaboration in clay once more,” said Chris Leonard, STC ceramics instructor and Ceramic Showdown organizer. “This year, our featured artists are Andy Rangel, who is throwing big pots with personality and making things work well locally, and Laura Caroline Casas, with her hand building fun and functional and consistently well-crafted work that finds audiences near and far.”
13 institutions will submit collaborative ceramic works, representing schools from well beyond the valley.
Participating institutions include Arizona Western College, Central Arizona College, College of The Sequoias, Lawrence University, McClennan Community College, Mesa Community College, PennWest University, Southeast Missouri State University, South Texas College, Texas A&M University Kingsville, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, University of Texas San Antonio and Weber State University.
“We’re setting the stage not only for technique-sharing, but for artists to share the stories and experiences that have shaped their work,” Leonard said. “The exhibitions will reflect voices ranging from beginners to seasoned professionals, alongside emerging artists right here at STC.”
