The Clay Studio presents Making Place Matter

The Clay Studio presents the opening of Making Place Matter, the inaugural exhibition of its newly built home in Philadelphia at 1425 N. American Street. We worked with a Council of South Kensington neighbors and artists to help design the gallery to be inspiring and welcoming. Using clay and cultural heritage as a source of inspiration, Making Place Matter will feature Peruvian-born artist Kukuli Velarde, American-born, Massachusetts-based artist Molly Hatch, and Egyptian American artist Ibrahim Said, now based in North Carolina. Each artist explores the idea of a place with regard to personal history, cultural heritage, and social justice. The opening event includes tours of the gallery, hands-on clay art-making, and opportunities to meet the artists. The event is free and open to the public.
