Project Cup: Sketch! Color! Play!

Posted November 22, 2023

Saturday, December 2, 2023 from 2:00-4:00 PM

On December 2, Project: Cup invites nine ceramic artists to the table to…Sketch! Color! Play! Doodle! Cut and Paste! Draw! We’re exploring the role that drawing plays in the research, design, and development of ideas and inspiration. In the spirit of sharing and collaboration, each artist has designed a printable activity page to share and discuss during the workshop. This event is open to all ages. No art experience required!

Artists included in this event are: Marty Arnold, Bekah Bliss, Mike Cerv, Chandra Debuse, Susan Flower, Paul Maloney, Luke Neves, Lilly Powell, and Adams Puryear.

Hope-Lian Vinson

With a B.F.A in Painting, Art History, and a Social Practice Certificate from the Kansas City Art Institute, Hope-Lian works at the intersections of art and ecology by using locally-sourced clay and natural materials to reference place and geological processes. They have showcased works in MdW Atlas, SITE ONE, Sapien Gallery, and have recently returned from the Chop Wood Carry Water arts residency in the Driftless region of NW Illinois. They currently serve as the Marketing + Communications Manager at Charlotte Street, where they use their artistic background in community-organizing to provide critical support for Charlotte Street programs and initiatives.
