The Bonsack Gallery: Friday, 10 January 2013

The Bonsack Gallery exhibit entitled “Rival Schools: Shared Ceramic Vision” will feature the works of grades 9 through 12 ceramics students from John Burroughs School and MICDS. The show will run from January 10 through February 5. All are invited to an opening reception from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, Friday, January 10, in the gallery.

“Rival Schools: Shared Ceramic Vision" is curated by Burroughs ceramics teacher Andrew Denney and MICDS ceramics teacher Bill Yonker,  Using clay as their medium, Denney and Yonkers encourage their students to aspire to clear ideas, technical art training, and heightened aesthetic sensibilities. Included in the exhibit are works of utilitarian pottery, pieces inspired by continued interest in the vessel format, and ceramic sculpture. “Ultimately, our mission is to challenge our students to become fine object makers and discover their own personal voice in clay,” says Denney. 

 Regular gallery hours are 8 am to 5 pm, weekdays. The exhibit is free to the public.
