· Clay and Print, Heather Coffey, David Israel, Jeff Irwin, Kathy King, Les Lawrence, Naitoh Megumi, Nolan Jennifer, Scott Rench, Paul Scott, Ian F. Thomas, Shalene Valenzuela, Paul Andrew Wandless. Clay and Printmaking have been combined in various ways for decades, but hasn’t really been recognized as its own genre unique unto itself. Its been viewed more as an interesting way for a few artists to place an image or design onto clay. Image Transfer is much more than cleverly using printing techniques to enhance a clay surface. The work created is not about clay or about printmaking. It’s truly something different and occupies its own artistic ground with one foot in clay and one foot in printmaking. Combining clay processes and printmaking techniques to make art is a natural and logical evolution of the two versatile mediums. This hybrid art of clay and print has its own exciting rules, lexicon, attitude, views, aesthetics, traditions, cannons and purpose. All of which are currently being defined and established in the present by those choosing to investigate this way of working. These artists or clay printers are merging processes, tools and techniques of different mediums to express themselves visually in a way that is unique, fresh, bold and new. The work created is visually dynamic, technically challenging and intellectually curious. Image transfer on clay is a new voice in the discourse of art utilizing the best of two mediums to convey the message. Organized by Paul Andrew Wandless. Mar 5-Apr 5. Mon-Sat 11:00a.m.-4:00p.m.(Wed 9:00a.m.-6:00p.m.) and by appointment. Area restaurants: Max’s Allegheny Tavern, Legends of the North Shore, The Park House, SassyMarie’s, Amani Coffee Shop.
