Clay & culture
FOR the fourth year, the University of Hawaii-Manoa's art department has hosted the East-West Ceramics Collaboration, which brings together ceramic artists from across the globe to work alongside each other and share techniques, ideas and culture, and to collaborate on projects.
Fifteen artists, from countries such as Taiwan, China, Turkey, Australia, Korea, Ireland, Germany, Japan and the United States worked with half a ton of clay for four weeks last month. The results are now on exhibit at the UH Art Gallery in the "East-West Ceramics Collaboration IV" exhibit, which runs through Friday.
The works run the gamut of style; the show features everything from graceful porcelains and traditional vessels to bold abstract sculptures and humorous and whimsical pieces.
The UH Art Gallery is located on the Manoa campus in the art building. Gallery hours are 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays. Call 956-6888.
