The Celedon Terra Cotta building on Main Street in Alfred will be the site of a one-day exhibition of ceramic work by Randall Chairs Liet Heringa and Maarten Van Kalsbeek on Tuesday, May 3, from 3 to 6 pm. The artists have lived in the Alfred during the spring semester of 2022; their work at the Terra Cotta was made during their residency.

They write: “The culture of Alfred, and the New York State College of Ceramics has provided us with great opportunities to experiment with new materials and firing process. This is a continuation of research started in Arita, the home of porcelain in Japan. The collaboration with our colleagues, technical experts and students has been very special and fruitful for our practice. We have created a new body of work which could only emerge here in Alfred. 

“There is no better place than the Celadon Terra Cotta Co. Building, to show our work.”

The exhibition is open to the public.
