By Example: NC Potters and Their Mentors presents works from a new generation ceramic artists who represent the new guard of clay makers in North Carolina, a state rich with a venerable clay tradition. Guest curator Ronan Kyle Peterson has selected twenty artists who in turn have invited 20 mentors who have significantly influenced their work and careers. By Example will take the visitor through a visual journey where one will see both functional and sculptural ceramics by artists whose work reflects the tradition of NC clay and artists who are incorporating new approaches to surface design and innovative application of ancient techniques. The exhibition will explore multiple themes in contemporary craft including use of color, texture and imagery, artistic borrowings from other media, and the importance of mentorship.
