Find unique gifts for the people on your holiday list at the annual Clay and Fire Exhibition and Sale, a semiannual fundraiser, Dec. 10-12 at Gallery I in the Liberal Arts Building at Boise State University. The sale will be from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. Admission is free.
The Clay and Fire sale has been held each fall and spring for more than 30
years. Hundreds of ceramic pieces in a wide range of prices and styles, from
utilitarian to sculptural pieces, will be available for purchase. The pieces
were created by Boise State students, faculty, alumni and regional artists.
Each year, a portion of the proceeds from the sale go toward funding the
Visiting Artist Program in Ceramics at Boise State, which brings world-class
ceramic artists to campus to teach students. Past visiting artists include
John Ballistreri, Robert Brady, Stan Welsh, Tom Coleman and Susan Harris,
among many others.
