BmoreArt highlighted Baltimore Clayworks in a recent article “Earth, Hand, and Fire: Three New Shows at Baltimore Clayworks” published on April 9, 2025, written by Kerr Houston.
“Baltimore Clayworks is celebrating its 45th anniversary with three new exhibitions (all open through May 24). Collectively, they offer a sense of the energetic variety of contemporary utilitarian ceramics, and provide a chance to consider the current appeal of one of the world’s oldest arts. And if you happen to be on the hunt for, say, a tasteful handmade tea set or a coy whiskey tumbler made of clay that imitates glass—well, they’ve got you covered there, as well.
By far the largest of the three shows, Together Again at the Table features more than a hundred objects by 15 ceramists, some of them nationally recognized. Neatly installed across five rooms (and punctuated by supporting elements by Asé Design Studio and Baltimore Blossoms), the works teeter happily between dutiful functionalism and lively artistic effects.
A set of drinking vessels by Wyatt Amend, for instance, nods to a thumbprint pattern found in Murano glassware, and Celia Feldberg’s dishes employ a white slip, sgraffito linework, and thin underglazes in producing a whimsical roster of appealing, loosely rendered animals.”
