SUMMARY:Spotlight on Ceramics: A Retail Pop Up
DESCRIPTION:January 23-25\, 12-5 PM\nJanuary 30-February 1\, 12-5 PM\nFebruary 6-February 8\, 12-5 PM\n\n\nTo accommodate the snowstorm close\, we are extending the retail pop up\, giving you one more weekend to discover or revisit the work of Byrdcliffe artist-in-residence Gwyneth Scally and browse a selection of ceramics books in our cozy reading nook.  \n\n\nIn celebration of the 30th anniversary of Byrdcliffe’s contemporary ceramics program\, throughout 2026 we will be focusing a spotlight on ceramics. First up\, the Shop will feature a selection of Byrdcliffe’s Artist in Residence Gwyneth Scally’s sculptural and functional ceramics.\n\n\nGwyneth Scally lives and works in Brooklyn\, NY.  She received her MFA from the University of Arizona and has developed her practice traveling and training acrossLatin America\, Europe\, Northern Africa\, New York\, Los Angeles\, China\, Newfoundland and the Black Sea of Bulgaria. \n\nTime spent in rural and wild places around the globe cultivated an interest in nature and ecological issues; Scally explores issues of displacement\, nostalgia\, and the Sublime\, while suggesting deeper issues of an environmental order overturned. Her current work addresses the legacies of Classicism and Romanticism in our concepts of nature and national identity. \nScally has received numerous fellowships\, scholarships and awards\, and has participated in 80 international exhibitions.  She has attended several artists’ residencies around the world\, and most recently participated in Byrdcliffe’s AIR program\, where she developed some of the work in this pop up retail exposition.
