Check out our May exhibit,"Storied Surface," from our friends/residents at the Clay Studio of Missoula!
​
"Storied Surface is a celebration of the complex geology of the skin of the world - the marks left by fire, by erosion, and by human labor and expression. Clay has a special ability to capture a sense of history through the accumulation of materials within the firing process. Each of the artists of the current cohort at the Clay Studio of Missoula address the question of surface with their specific approach, often engaging with atmosphere, texture, and form to illuminate an aesthetic world in their own way. Ethan Arias, Yve Holtzclaw, Heather Lepp, Kayla Noble, and Krissy Ramirez together invite you to peer into the world with curiosity and to notice the ornamentation of material that we are surrounded by on this earth."

About​
​
The Clay Studio of Missoula’s goal is to provide the general public with affordable access to high-quality ceramic art instruction. We strive to fulfill this goal by: 1) offering a wide array of ceramics classes and workshops to adults and children of all levels of skill; 2) providing local ceramicists with inexpensive access to studio space and professional quality equipment; 3) hosting resident artists from across the country who are able to share their ideas, experiences, and techniques with our students; and 4) holding exhibitions of contemporary ceramic works and representing an array of regional ceramic artists in our gallery.
Founded in 1998 by former University of Montana students, the Clay Studio of Missoula was established to fill a void in Missoula’s growing community—the need for a comprehensive ceramic center where community classes could be held and where serious but less established ceramicists could access studio space and professional quality equipment at a reasonable cost. On March 1, 1999, the Clay Studio of Missoula was incorporated as a Montana non-profit corporation and a 501(C)(3) charitable entity recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.
