The ceramics sale features handmade, functional ceramic artwork created by members of the UW-Whitewater Department of Art and Design’s ceramics program, past and present. Sales from items purchased support the student UW-Whitewater Ceramics Organization’s goals of bringing regionally, nationally and internationally recognized ceramic artists to UW-Whitewater for visiting artist presentations and workshops, and providing funding for field trips and other extracurricular opportunities, among others.
“It’s great to be back! We have moved over to the Community Engagement Center which will allow our community greater access. The faculty, staff and students who created these works are very talented in their crafts and there are some really unique pieces on display. We can’t wait to see everyone in person after living in a realm of digital media for the last two years,” Associate Professor and organizer, Jared Janovec was quoted as saying in the release.
In past years, the sale has included the jewelry and print areas. This year, the jewelry student organization has chosen to hold its sale online, the release continued. More information will be posted when available to the official Facebook event at: https://fb.me/e/153BZYi5J.
