The Clay Studio: 100 Artists 1000 Cups was anexhibit designed to highlight the depth and breadth of American potters today.This interconnected list of one hundred artists spans seven decades and almostevery American state. Each artist sent ten cups, for a grand totalof one thousand. One hundred cups were displayed at all times, one fromeach artist. Once a cup was purchased it was replaced with another cup bythe same artist. Each artist answered a series of questionsexploring pivotal relationships amongst makers as mentors and mentees. It isour hope that the exhibit and this publication encourage conversation on theintersecting nature of makers, issues of influence and different models forlearning, whilst providing access for students, artists and collectors to thework of artists both new and established. Because The Clay Studio believes in promotingbroad access to the ceramic arts, the information contained in this catalogueis also available free of charge at ISSUU.COM.
