[FAC] ArtHop this Thursday at Clay Mix

[Ritsuko Miyazaki]

Please stop by Clay Mix during ArtHop this Thursday (5-8pm) to see ceramic 
sculptures by San Francisco artist Tiffany Schmierer.

Schmierer's sculptures are a playful and colorful collage of forms and 
imagery. Her sculptures incorporate many small parts which she calls her 
"vocabularies". These parts are stacked and combined to complete each sculpture. The small 
parts represent a collection of moments and memories - fragments of a bigger 
whole. Sometimes the same "vocabularies" appear in different sculptures making a 
new set of connections.  Schmierer explains that "the way in which the 
pieces are combined represents aspects of who we are." She explores how we 
are shaped, affected, and linked by our environment. She also explores our 
relationships through the ways each element in the work connect with one 
another. Tiffany Schmierer received her MFA from San Francisco State University in 
2004. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Skyline College. 
Schmierer has exhibited in national and regional shows and has been included 
in various private collections.

Enjoy refreshments while you view the exhibit.

Clay Mix instructor Craig Easter and his students will be giving
wheel-throwing demonstrations in the studio from 5:30pm.

We hope to see you during ArtHop.
