"GEAUX CUPS IV"
Juried by Chris Hosbach
June 4 - July 24, 2021*
*Gallery closed July 2-3, 2021
We are pleased to be showing the fourth installment of "Geaux Cups," our popular annual exhibition of ceramic drinking vessels! The title is a spoof on New Orleans’ infamous plastic “go cup,” the portable container that allows adults to imbibe alcohol while wandering the city’s 300-year-old streets.
Featuring all manner of ceramic drinking vessels, this exhibition will be on display June 4 – July 24, 2021 in the Clay Center’s gallery. You can also see and shop the entire exhibition 24/7 in our online shop!

About the Juror
Chris Hosbach is a ceramic artist based in Taos, New Mexico, where he creates ceramics that are primarily functional; meant to be used and appreciated daily. Chris enjoys making functional work because of the added layer of personal connection between the artist and the end user.
Drawn to its softness and strength, Chris primarily forms his pieces in porcelain, which becomes the canvas for the exquisite surface decorations that have become the focus of his work. Having an interest in graphic design, pattern making, and technology, Chris creates custom vinyl stencils for each piece he produces. Vibrant and colorful transparent glazes add depth to the finished piece through their interplay with various underglazes and stains. Exploration of new interactions between ceramic materials and the unexpected surprises revealed, are few of the reasons Chris continues to work in this style.
