Session V: Cross Pollination, August 5-16

Martha Grover

Organized by: Audry Deal-McEver & Martha Grover
With: Dawn Candy, Jennifer Cole, Dawn Dishaw, Sarah Pike & Lindsay Rogers

Over time, botanical ecosystems evolve in response to ecological change. Species rarely thrive in isolation but rather coexist in symbiotic relationships that promote growth and development. In this spirit, Cross Pollination welcomes clay artists inspired by the botanical world who are interested in sharing their experiences, techniques, processes, and research. While many artists anchoring the session focus on functional ware, the ideas behind this residency align with sculptural and installation work as well. The cohort will gather to share ideas while gaining fresh inspiration from Watershed’s bucolic campus.
