This show highlights works with painterly qualities. Fluid brushstrokes, pictorial renderings, and colorful scenes can be found here. There's a variety of ways these makers create their work. For example, Catie Miller transfers drawings onto her pieces using slip. Ursula Hargens paints her designs over a white slip base on earthenware. There are so many strategies to creating a painterly piece, allow us to show you a few ways.

Featuring work from Donna Polseno, Catie Miller, Jennifer Cole, Ursula Hargens, Kirk Lyttle, Karin Kraemer, Carole Epp, Minsoo Yuh, Josie Jurczenia, and Michael Corney.
