Shaping Clay | In partnership with Tierra Del Sol Gallery and Studio Art Program

Transformative Arts is founded on a collaborative model and focused on building visual literacies across communities. We are excited to announce a new pop up exhibition in partnership with Tierra Del Sol Gallery and Studio Art Program. Shaping Clay opens Saturday June 25 through July 16 with a special artists conversation moderated my Maddy Leeser, contemporary artist and Tierra Del Sol Ceramics Leader.

Shaping Clay features Studio artists Marlena Arthur, Karen Goldstein, Abraham Khan, Michael LeVell, Erika Lopez, Eric Lue, Jackie Marsh, John Peterson, Jeffrey Rinsky, Lexington Sherbin, and Alex Trim. These artists come to Tierra from cities across Southern California and Global Diasporas. Their work is born from their unique imaginations, a story telling impulse and the joy of working and shaping a material that contains so many stories of its own.

Transformative Arts founder jill moniz works closely with Tierra Del Sol Gallery and wanted to celebrate this relationship by sharing it with our larger community. Shaping Clay points to moniz's love of sculpture, transformative art making as well as the power of working together to support vital programs and practices for the greater good.

Tierra Del Sol’s Director, Paige Weary held our Artist Talk surrounding Shaping Clay on Saturday, July 9th at Transformative Arts.
