Ceramics Resident Artist

A collection of ceramic vases in various shades of green, blue, and black, arranged closely together in a display.

Semi-private spaces are furnished by the artists. These Artists are required to volunteer at Mother Brook Arts 3 hrs per month and contribute to the maintenance of the studio and facilities.
