Clay

Ceramists around the world work with clay in a myriad of ways. Unlike any other material it has a plasticity and fluidity that can take on many forms and portray many textures. It can have an appearance of wood, stone, paper, glass, metal,…yet be of the same material. A medium as basic as this earth component, humble, elegant, surprising, otherworldly, with a history as long as civilization. What form does it take for you? Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of "Clay" at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod.
