Their Show, Our Clay



Hey Internetians, potters and the like! How has everyone's week been? Productive, I hope. Here at The Ceramic Shop we've been busy packing orders as usual. What else has the Ceramic Shop been up to that might be a little out of the ordinary? How about supplying clay to a gallery for a big show? Yeah, we do that too. Last week New Museum in New York opened their newest show: “The Ungonvernables.” It features numerous young artist for around the world. You can read more about it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/17/arts/design/the-ungovernables-2012-new-museum-triennial.html?pagewanted=all We were able to help by supplying the clay for a large, floor to ceiling sculpture made by Adrian Villar Rojas and his crew. The piece is unfired and the artist feels the cracking only adds to the feel of the piece. It's fun to think we were able to help out with a production like this. If you are in the area you should check out the New Museum.
