| Although
"Made in Fairbanks" only reflects a fraction of the
people who work in clay, it represents the wonderful diversity
of this expressive medium. Clay has the ability to be something
different for everyone. It runs the gamut from utilitarian tableware
through non-objective sculpture. Liz Berry and Sue Dean are some
of the first potters to work in Fairbanks. These pioneers have
become the matriarchs of the local ceramics community. They are
joined by a timeline of prolific producers that ends with more
contemporary work, most by artists who are affiliated with the
university. Let your eyes wander over this varied history of clay
as it is expressed by Fairbanks.
