This year’s theme Craft Creates … is beautifully executed by Zeber Martell Gallery & Clay Studio in Akron, OH.
Their event is titled: Mugs for Recovery
The theme is: Craft Creates … Healing
They are inviting people who have, or are, recovering from addiction to make/decorate mugs with impressed words, applied symbols and carved images that convey the positive impact recovery has made in their lives. Participants will work with artists at the ZM Studio to express their struggle, growth and change and the positive outcome of recovery through the visual and tactile medium…clay.
The mugs will be glazed, fired and shown during American Craft Week. They will be displayed with a short Artist’s Statement (anonymity respected) expressing the positive impact of recovery as an inspiration to others. The special exhibit will open Friday, October 9 and guests will be encouraged to bid in a silent auction for the mugs. Proceeds will benefit 91.3’s Rock and Recovery Program.
Three cheers for Zeber Martell! We love that they are incorporating this year’s theme in such a wonderful event! |
