Reception: October 17, 7 – 9p.m.

To purchase, call the Lawrence Arts Center at 785-843-2787.

The bottle has been a cherished form by potters for many years. The bottle as an icon is recognizable by people of almost any age. It is an object that has the ability to conjure thoughts of nostalgia, celebration, comfort and conflict among others. The potential for interpretation is unlimited. Clay is accessible to people of all ages and has the ability to mimic other materials.

Artists invited to participate in this exhibit utilize a variety of construction techniques and firing methods ranging from traditional wheel thrown, wood fired pots to slip-cast mixed media forms. The exhibition entitled, Bottles, will represent nearly 50 potters from around the country showcasing to the Lawrence community the unique interpretation each artist has to the bottle form.
