Join us this Saturday, August 30, for the opening reception of “An Artist’s Journey: Regis Brodie” to celebrate the life and work of Ceramic Artist and former Skidmore College professor, Regis Brodie.

Regis Brodie (1942–2024) created work that balanced classical vessel forms with painterly, abstract surfaces. Salt-fired textures, gestural mark-making, and a mix of restraint and spontaneity.

His work lives in collections worldwide — from Barcelona to Korea — and in museums across the U.S., including the Tang Teaching Museum. Beyond the studio, he was a devoted educator and author, leaving a lasting legacy in the ceramics community.

In the culmination of their residencies at Saratoga Clay Arts Center, Christina Riccio and Jess Levin explore the emotions that accompany grappling with the uncertainty of the world we live in. Utilizing both figurative sculpture and functional pottery, these artists come face to face with grief and a declining society through an absurdist lens. Both playful and morose, this work portrays a sense of self- reflection, childlike wonder, and melancholy.

Juried by Lorna Meaden. Morning meals are a cornerstone of our daily routines marking the transition from rest to activity, and the pottery we use during these moments plays a crucial role in setting the tone for the day.

Three potters, Harrison Levenstein, Turiya Gross and Andrew Sartorius, come together in this trio exhibition to explore the enduring relevance of traditional wood firing methods and the intricate relationship between maker, material, nature, and place.

In UNFOLD, the artists will explore the ceramic medium each in their unique way, one by erupting large and small ceramic vessels and creating volume from the inside out, the other by painting with colorful glazes on flat ceramic shapes assembled in surprising configurations. Both convey a similar feeling of fluidity and gestural expression unfolding and conversing with other forces.
