SUMMARY:Free AIR Demo - Elizabeth Noonan - Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:FREE DEMO \nStop by the Cove at Fivesparks to visit with Ceramicist Elizabeth Noonan between 10:30-2:30PM. Chat with her about her creative philosophies\, ask her questions\, or simply watch her work.  \nLiz describes herself as a storyteller and her work as a visual narrative of her surroundings and past. \nUsing clay\, she attempts to create the experience of shared stories\, magic and nature. Her work manifests ephemeral feelings and nostalgia. The fleeting joy of colors that come with short seasons and the yearning we feel for that color once winter has arrived. She is inspired by what she sees and tries to capture that. \nLiz will be presenting her creative philosophies at an ‘Artist Talk’ Manifesting Storytelling in Sculptural Vessels on Saturday\, February 15\, 2025\, 2:00pm.  \n\nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Harvard Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.
