The galley says the show celebrates "the depth of history, tradition, and cultural expression in contemporary ceramics" and how modern ceramicists continue to push the boundaries of the medium. The show is juried by Ayumi Horie, a Maine-based potter who was the recipient of the 2022 Maine Craft Artist Award from the Maine Craft Association. She says: "What makes this show worth experiencing is the breadth of aesthetics, approaches, and ways of seeing a material that is at once so common and so underseen.’’
