The Taplin Gallery at the Arts Council of Princeton is pleased to announce a CALL FOR ENTRY to "WILD CLAY", guest curated and juried by artists John Reinking and Marg Diaz.
"Wild clay" refers to clay that is not commercially available, but instead has been personally sourced from the earth. It must be discovered, dug, used in its raw state - or sometimes, refined - and then tested. Unlike commercially processed clay, wild clay enables the maker to tap into the unique characteristics of a specific place — its colors, textures, and material properties — revealing the distinct identity of the local landscape.
