Visiting Artist: Michael Kline
This Friday, Feb. 27 at 5pm in the Student Union Little Theater
Sponsored by SGA Fees, and the Potter’s Guild
Michael Kline the creative process still begins with the simple, ecstatic response to a ball of soft clay. The successful pot elicits a similar response in the context of the home. The mountains of North Carolina provide plenty of inspiration with their wildly exuberant flora, geological variety and the pottery history that sprang from these geological circumstances. Strong pottery form and patterns that evoke the complexity of this natural environment continue to guide his interests. By some combination of optimism and risk, Kline’s collaboration with the natural properties of clay and wood fire continues to make him an important artist in the field.
