Anne Scott Plummer of Island City Clayspace will host artsXchange on Tuesday, July 19. This ArtsXchange is an informal conversation for ceramicists and visual artists of all mediums about the language of form. How does 3-D form communicate to the user or viewer? What details around form are essential to the user or viewer? Why is one form more compelling than another, and what is the role of interior space, voids and negative space? Come share your experience or pose questions of your own to the group. Bring an example of your work, if you’d like, to spark a conversation on form!
Plummer’s functional pottery includes a range of forms, sometimes decorated in underglaze with images of food, insects, and animals. Her one of a kind vessels explore architectural construction and relief. Plummer’s abstract figurative sculptures are created by throwing, hand-building, or casting clay. Plummer is a professor emerita of Art and Design at Winona State University
About artsXchange:
The Minnesota Marine Art Museum + River Arts Alliance are coming together to bring you a new, monthly informal artist exchange - a chance for artists and creatives from across a variety of mediums to gather for inspiration, exploration and exchange at the museum. Each month, a member from River Arts Alliance, a nonprofit that supports and celebrates regional arts and culture, hosts a 90-minute artist meet-up and conversation with an artist, maker, designer, writer, or another creative person.
The evening will begin by gathering in the atrium at MMAM and meeting their artist host. The group will then a take a short inspirational tour of the museum (identifying a couple of signature pieces to spark conversation, chosen by your artist guide), and continue with a meet-up in the Oberton Education Room for inspiring conversation that ranges from anything from technique, to who’s making what, to sales strategies, and other opportunities.
