Visitors to the OCAF Art Center may see two outstanding exhibitions of pottery.

OCAF Main Gallery, Perspectives 2010: Georgia Pottery Invitational Exhibition

Each participating potter will feature two original pots and one ceramic piece from their personal collection.

OCAF Members Gallery, Out of Round Exhibition

In conjunction with this year's featured workshop, Out of Round presenter Sequoia Miller, and other nationally recognized potters will have their work featured in this special exhibit. Each piece of pottery within the exhibition started out round on a pottery wheel and was then altered (on or off wheel) and finished in another shape. A brief explanation and one or two photos depicting how these pieces were formed will accompany each artist's work.
