The Caroline Dukes Memorial Artist Talk
What expectations of size and scale are placed on the work of women artists who create with clay? Ceramic artist Grace Han will examine how large ceramic works created by women are viewed and will explore the assumptions made of their creators. Is physical strength all that is required? Han will explore what fuels this creative process, beyond muscle and bone, and will present many examples of women who create large-scale ceramic works.
Free, everyone is welcome.
