Platform Gallery is pleased to present TERRA|FORMING, on view at 116 W Mulberry Street. TERRA|FORMING, a collaborative exhibition between Baltimore Clayworks and Platform, celebrates the work of Baltimore Clayworks’ Springboard Artists. Springboard, which began in 2012 is a non-juried studio program housed at Baltimore Clayworks’ Mt. Washington campus that gives artists looking to expand their studio practice the opportunity to have a dedicated collaborative space to work. TERRA|FORMING, derived from the Latin word, Terra, which means Earth shaping, exhibits the varying levels ceramic studio experience as well as the creative partnership between Baltimore Clayworks and Baltimore Clayworks’ Springboard Artists:

TERRA|FORMING is the first exhibition this diverse group of artists will show together, highlighting each artist’s personal vision and independent investigation of clay. The combination of directions and styles differentiates Springboard from other artistic programs. Each artist’s work ranges from functional to sculptural – exploring practical and aesthetic expression. Clay provides continuity in the work, as does, the commitment, creativity and joy each artist brings to the medium. This is a survey of the work created in the studio and a celebration of the individuals that created them. Each piece is hand-made and represents an established style, experience and function of clay.
