Artists in the expanded network of the New Harmony Clay Project are exhibiting over 45 cups that represent techniques and processes utilized by professionals working at the forefront of clay methods today. This popular clay cup exhibit is the sixth in a continuation of partnerships year on year with the New Harmony Clay Project: a facility that hosts workshops, artist residencies and affiliated artwork sales to support emerging and mid-career artists who produce works in dialogue with clay as a medium. 


91ÉçÇø the New Harmony Clay Project (NHCP): The Clay Project is an artist residency and education center located in historic New Harmony, IN. The Project fosters an environment that supports the investigation of new ideas and work in the ceramic arts. It was established in 2015 by Lenny Dowhie, an internationally known ceramic sculptor and Professor Emeritus at 91ÉçÇø. NHCP is supported by the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation, Efroymson Family Fund, Greater Houston Community Foundation and Lenny and Anne Dowhie Trusts. Its goal is to encourage emerging and professional visual artists/ educators in ceramics by giving them quiet space and the time to develop a new body of work. The Clay Project is located within the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Ceramic Studio in New Harmony, next to the Roofless Church.
