The Clay Studio of Missoula
Reception: Shapes: New Work by Andrew Avakian Description:
The Clay Studio of Missoula is proud to present a solo exhibition featuring the ceramic works of current artist in residence Andrew Avakian. His hand built terra cotta vessels bring the richness of public architectural form into homes and individual, intimate environments. Architecture, design, abstract painting and color theory are some current ideas driving his work. Ornamentation, pattern, textures, and contrasts result from the use of different materials in building. Underglaze colors, terra sigillata, glazes and sandblasting add depth and a sense of passing time, age and experience.

Andrew received a BFA in ceramics from Western Carolina University, and spent two years studying ceramics at the University of Florida as a post baccalaureate. He has been a resident artist at Cub Creek Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, and at Odyssey Clayworks. In 2015, he moved to Missoula and was the gallery assistant at the Clay Studio of Missoula through summer 2016. He is completing his second year of residency at the Clay Studio of Missoula at the end of the summer.

Shapes: New Work by Andrew Avakian will be on display at the Clay Studio of Missoula from July 6-27, 2018, with an opening on Friday, July 6 from 5:30-9pm. Gallery events are free and open to the public.
