Blair Clemo will share his latest offerings in our first Fall 2014 exhibit. Always ornate, impeccably crafted, and accessible. Clemo elevates us out of the mundane with his work, giving us a wink and a nod in the process.

“There are moments in my work of utilitarian consideration where the vocabulary of contemporary studio pottery is unmistakable. There are also moments of opulence where utilitarian concerns are second to elements of visual pleasure. These pots balance on a fine line between sincerity and irony. They are sincere in their careful craft and potential for use; yet their assertion of material value and wealth is as transitory and uncertain as our own status in an unsteady world.”
