Ceramic arts club to sell pottery at Art Bash tonight
UF’s ceramic arts club, H.O.T. Clay, will have its final day of the student-made pottery sale today at the annual Art Bash from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Fine Arts Complex.
Money raised helps the club pay for the costs of conferences and visiting artist workshops.
All of the items on sale are handmade pieces created by club members. The pieces include cups, bowls and other various sculptures.
H.O.T., which stands for “hand-built or thrown” (different pottery techniques) had a make-a-thon to prepare for the sale, said Jon Burns, a ceramics graduate student and member of H.O.T. Clay.
The club members met for a few hours and made as many pieces as they could.
There were about 500 pieces displayed Tuesday, Burns said.
Prices range from $10 to $75, on average.
The event is a way for the club to not only raise money, but to show off its members’ work.
“We feel it’s really important the community knows what we do as artists,” Burns said.
