'connections'
EXHIBITION
Idlewild will be transforming into a ceramic gallery for an upcoming national ceramic conference hosted by Cincinnati. We'll be featuring the work of one of our owners, Julie Clark, and her fellow studio potters, Rita Wiley and Dionne Mayhew. World renowned ceramicists and collectors will be in our city during this week and we are excited to be on the list of exhibits.
A historic gristmill, a current of water, the millrace, and a pottery studio connect three potters. This exhibition features their connections and shared aesthetics, celebrating the individuality within those connections…
