FELLOWSHIP IN CLAY: AMERICAN CRAFT COUNCIL FELLOWS IN PHILADLEPHIA

This exhibition celebrates four of the most influential ceramic artists working in Philadelphia in the last 65 years. Rudolf Staffel and William Daley represent the first generation of the Contemporary Studio Craft Movement that exploded onto the art scene in the late 1940’s at the end of World War II. Paula Winokur and Robert Winokur were part of the second wave; they were among the first students of the origin generation. These four artists have not only developed successful, unique bodies of work during their long careers, but each were leaders of the most important university ceramics programs in the region. Made possible by the Windgate Foundation, this exhibition offers a look at more than 28 pieces produced by this dynamic group. “Fellowship In Clay” is part of the Craft NOW exhibition series celebrating the art of craft in Philadelphia and the region.
