Also Happening at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery

Live Clay Demo with Stephen Homer

Join Education Coordinator Stephen Homer for a LIVE clay demo! Homer's work pushes the limits of texture and glazes on both functional and sculptural work. Stop by to see how he builds large forms on and off the wheel. 

Dress to Impress

As we approach the final days of our Second Skin exhibition, we invite you to showcase your style by donning your best Kentucky Derby-inspired attire. Dress to impress, and you'll be entered into a drawing for a Date Night experience (ceramics or glass). Don’t miss your chance to stand out in style!
