SUMMARY:Artist Talk | Eric Serritella
DESCRIPTION:Sharing Spaces | Eric Serritella | Ceramic Artist\nEver wonder what makes an artist tick? From where do they get their inspirations?

And how do they create art with a message that\nmatters? \nA lively\, humorous and entertaining speaker\, artist Eric Serritella reveals his journey in “Sharing\nSpaces” a PowerPoint presentation filled with images that bring this story to life. He sheds light\non how he expresses himself through his ceramic trompe l’oeil sculptures and explores how both\nhis conscious and subconscious contributed to the development of several bodies of work\,\nculminating with his signature birch master works and why they matter. Plan to leave with new\nknowledge\, perspectives and laughs on the inner workings of an artist’s mind. \nOriginally from New York\, Eric is now a North Carolina based ceramic artist specializing in hand-\ncarved trompe l’oeil vessels transformed into birch and weathered logs\, along with colorful works\nin cast glass. His one-of-a-kind sculptures are internationally recognized and have been\nexhibited\, awarded and collected on five continents for their exquisite design and incredibly\nrealistic textures. \nDozens of Serritella’s works are included in public collections\, including among others The\nMetropolitan Museum of Art\, the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, the Carnegie Museum of\nArt\, the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston and the Mint Museum. He has contributed to over 160\nexhibitions and has shown at the world’s top art and design fairs in the USA and Europe.

SUMMARY:Ceramic Birch Bark Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ceramic Birch Bark Baskets with Eric Serritella\nTwo Day Hands-On Workshop January 16-17\, 2027 \nLearn surface detailing and thin slab construction techniques to create your own lifelike birch bark basket in clay. Participants will explore the use of slip\, stains\, washes\, and texture to achieve movement and realism in the trompe l’oeil tradition. \nThis workshop is suitable for both beginners and experienced potters. Eric Serritella is a talented artist and a wonderful instructor who creates an encouraging and inspiring learning environment for all skill levels. \nThis two-day weekend workshop will combine instructor demonstration and student hands-on participation to create birch bark from clay. Eric will share a wealth of clay techniques to make realistic bark baskets and vessels. Students will try the techniques on a small piece to keep. In addition to birch bark creation\, Eric will emphasize sculptural elements\, ways of seeing as an artist\, and anecdotally share his experiences making\, marketing and selling wheel thrown and hand-built works in clay. \nStudents will leave with knowledge of how to:\n• manually create large slabs without the use of a slab roller.\n• handle and assemble slabs of clay.\n• use templates for making projects from slabs.\n• mix and use slips of different consistencies and viscosities.\n• recreate the look of birch bark in clay.\n• recreate the look of leather straps in clay for incorporation into birch projects.\n• mix and use ceramic stains in layers and for visual accent. \nEric Serritella is recognized internationally as one of the top ceramic trompe l’oeil artists in the world. He specializes in hand-carved sculptures transforming clay into birch\, charred and weathered logs. His one-of-a-kind pieces are known for their hyper-realism\, and have been shown\, awarded and collected on five continents for their exquisite organic design and incredibly lifelike textures.
