Celebrating the 16th anniversary of the Bascom Clay Symposium, the 2026 program brings together Alexander Thierry, Andy Shaw, and Tiffany Thomas for an in-depth exploration of surface treatments in contemporary ceramics. This annual gathering offers a rare opportunity to engage closely with accomplished artists as they share the stories, inspirations, and technical approaches that have shaped their practices over time.
