When a beloved cat passes away it is truly heartbreaking. You cry and cry until the day another kitten enters your life and you find your joy again. <3

Children of the Clay
The Feats of Clay competition will take place on May 2, 2025 at the Everson Museum of Art, This is a school competition that includes wheel throwing and other fun timed sculpting events.
A juried exhibition of student work is currently on display at the Everson (downstairs in the auditorium atrium). So fun!

Opening April 12, 2025
Central New York’s Feats of Clay competition was established in 1987 to foster education in the ceramic arts for Syracuse-area high schools. Now in its 36th year, the event includes schools from as far away as the North Country and the Southern Tier and features a juried exhibition that recognizes students who demonstrate excellence in ceramic sculpting and vessel making.
On Friday, May 2, 500 students representing more than twenty-five schools will converge on the Everson Community Plaza to compete in a series of Olympic-style competitive events that involve (among other things) throwing blindfolded on the potter’s wheel, stacking wheel-thrown cylinders, and building towering constructions out of clay coils.
Feats of Clay is supported by Clayscapes Pottery and the Independent Potters Association.
