🌸 Mark your calendars for Blossom by Guest Artist Theo Hirschfield !

Here’s a little sneak peek at what Theo has been creating in the studio! Inspired by the forms of flora and a childlike wonder for discovery, Theo transforms familiar plant life into surreal, larger-than-life ceramic sculptures. We can’t wait for you to experience these playful, otherworldly forms in person.

Join us for a weekend exhibition, reception and artist talk!

Reception: Friday, November 6, 5–7 PM
Artist Talk: Friday, November 6, 5:30 PM
Carbondale Clay Center, 135 Main St., Carbondale

Blossom will be on view November 6–8.
Theo’s Guest Artist Series residency is sponsored by Scott White Atelier of Carbondale.
