Pretty Young Things
"Pretty Young Things" is up from August 14th - September 4th at The Lacoste Gallery in Concord, MA. Check out the work on the website, and if you're in the Boston area, stop in and check it out.

"Curated by Nathan Prouty, the youngest resident artist at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, Pretty Young Things at Lacoste Gallery presents 10 cutting-edge ‘post-medium’ artists that are using clay in fresh new ways, exploring new ideas, and expanding our concept of what clay should/could be. These are some the brightest talents to emerge in the field of ceramics in recent years."

Piles & Countertops
Thanks to everyone who came out for my show opening!
The show was a success, and it feels great have so many great friends and family members show their support.
I just added the whole body of work to the Piles & Countertops page, including the giclée prints that were included in the exhibition. All but 4 of the sculptures are still available for purchase, and the prints are editions of 5, so get 'em while they're available. Thank you to The Clay Studio for making the whole thing possible!!
