In 2010 local ceramicist Celeste Coucke started opening her Cloud Farm Studio once a month to the general public as well as running clay making workshops during the week for both adults and children.  This exhibition shows off the most recent creations form her magic of clay workshops.  As a regular attendee of the clay workshops I find I learn so much from the children’s works because they have such a directness and immediacy as the form scrambles, scuttles, and scoots to be born in space.
To re-quote Picasso “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
