The SUU Ceramics Guild is Firing It Up This Valentine’s Day
Written by Lola Taylor
Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: SUU’s Ceramics Guild is firing up the kiln this Valentine’s Day to bring you handcrafted ceramic bowls and mugs - the perfect gifts for yourself or that special someone this wintry season. These unique works of art will be on sale February 13 and 14 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in the Sharwan Smith Living Room.
Each ceramic piece is microwave and dishwasher safe, making these student creations both practical and beautiful works of art. Crafted pieces range from plates and cups to planter boxes with flowers or herbs inside, for the perfect gifts this Valentine’s Day. With prices ranging from $10 to $25, there are affordable options for everyone.
All sales events hosted by the SUU Ceramic Guild fund educational opportunities for its members and allow visiting artists to come to SUU to teach new techniques. The Valentine’s Day sale will help send ten students to the annual National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference. This year’s conference will be held in Portland, Oregon on March 22 to 25. The NCECA conference provides the students with enriching educational experiences and networking opportunities with graduate schools and other artists from around the country. A panel of jurors is also available to critique the students’ portfolios, allowing them to receive additional feedback on their works. Multiple art gallery visits are also included in their conference trip.
