Live Clay Demo at Belger Crane Yard Gallery

Stop by the Open House at the Belger Glass Annex. Participate in hands-on activities and learn how artists use our studio to create a wide variety of glass artwork. View work created by our renters and students in the Community Showcase!

Enjoy a free beer tasting and complementary beverages from local brewery, Callsign Brewing. They offer a wide selection of flagship and seasonal beers with a mission to honor those military service members lost serving our country.

At the Belger Crane Yard Gallery, watch Ceramic Resident Artist Zoey McLeod give a Live Clay Demo. Her work is largely inspired by the ability to create objects in collaboration with natural materials that serve as mementos of memory and adorn the home. Observe McLeod as she hand-builds nature-inspired candleabras, ask her questions about her studio practice, and get a sneak peek at her work for the upcoming resident exhibition.

View our exhibitions Second Skin: Exploring Adornment as an Extension of Self and Mathew McConnell: These Things Take Time alongside our new seasonal gallery collection, Here Comes the Sun.

Free Artist Talk with VISITING Resident
Pierce Haley

Saturday, April 4 starting at 11am

Join us for a FREE artist talk with Visiting Resident Artist Pierce Haley, as he shares insights into his creative process and inspirations.

Originally from Orinda, California, Haley’s artistic vision has been significantly shaped by his father’s work as an architect, particularly in modern mid-century architecture.  Haley uses a combination of 3-D printing, slip casting, and mold making to create large installations and tessellations.

During his talk, Haley will delve into his artistic approach and the body of work he’s creating during his residency at Belger Arts.
