SCHUYLERVILLE — Saratoga Clay Arts Center’s Schacht Gallery presents The Function of Line, a solo exhibition featuring the luscious functional porcelain pottery of Mississippi clay artist Matt Long, running Aug. 27 – Oct. 1, with an opening reception 5-7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27.
Admission to the opening is free and the artist will be giving a daylong demonstration workshop from 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
“My passion for clay lies within functional pottery. I believe that pots have a nature of their own -- a soul, a breath of reality, that is inherently guided by their maker,” Long says. “In a world that is fast paced and oriented around convenience in life rather than quality of life, handmade functional pots can slow things down, allowing the user to enjoy the important aspects of human interaction and self-introspection.”
Matt Long’s work can be seen in many national and international shows.
Saratoga Clay Arts Center - founded in 2010 by clay artist and educator Jill Kovachick, is a ceramic art center located at 167 Hayes Rd, Schuylerville.
