ASCU Cup Swap

Greetings fellow ceramic artists,The ASUC Studio on the Berkeley campus will be hosting a cup swam (details below). I'm hoping that you'll attend and bring some friends with you. Please use this as an opportunity to socialize, trade a cup, as well as promote yourself, your studio, gallery, school, or ceramics program. We're aiming for low key, but lots of fun. If this goes well, I'd like to see other studios, schools, gallerys or stores host future cup swaps. I think it will be a great opportunity to bring the Bay Area ceramics community together.Best,Erik***** Please forward widely *****Bay Area Cup SwapWhat: A cup swap amongst Bay Area clay artists.Who: Anybody and everybody working in clay from the Bay Area.
