UAA Claybody Visiting Artist demonstrations with Kurt Anderson

North Carolina potter Kurt Anderson will be giving demonstrations on his ceramic work this upcoming weekend in Gordon Hartlieb Hall Room 108, Wheelthrowing Studio. Students and employees are invited to stop in and see what Kurt will be creating in the studio and have the opportunity to engage with a professional potter!

Making pots is easy. The hard part is finding your voice and creating pots that are unique and truly express who you are. I encourage artists who are just starting out to avoid trends and be authentic. Look to the classics for inspiration, rather than Instagram stars. Fill your life with music, books, and other forms of art. Purchase pots from your favorite potters and use them every day to figure out why they are so good. Believe in your vision and find a way to keep making pots. Eventually, if you work hard at it for long enough you will find your audience and then you are on your way.
