Saratoga Clay Arts Center Presents New Joint Exhibition

SCHUYLERVILLE — A joint exhibition featuring functional and sculptural ceramic works by local artists Maria Rosenblum and W.D. Pitney will premiere on March 21 (with an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m.) at the Saratoga Clay Arts Center’s Schacht Gallery. Admission is free. The exhibit, titled “Objective Form : Subjective Disorder,” will run until May 2.

Pitney and Rosenblum have been firing atmospheric and reduction kilns together for the past five years.

“Trained as a potter, I am now devoted to meshing functional and sculptural concepts to produce pedestal vessels and naturalistic shallow bowls,” said Rosenblum. “This precarious balance is rooted in my youth exploring the extraordinary tides and shallows of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia.” 

“With my functional pieces, I’ve been working with porcelain slip to create surface textures to invoke gesture, expression, and energy,” said Pitney. “Ultimately, I believe craft serves community by elevating, inspiring, and uniting people through form and process.”

The Schacht Gallery at Saratoga Clay Arts Center is located at 167 Hayes Road in Schuylerville.
