It is with great anticipation that I begin my ClayHouston presidency. Michelle Matthews provided great leadership to CH and brought regional and national recognition to the organization. VP Anne Steacy and I are committed to continuing this trajectory with a focus on sustainability. Last year, CH revised the bylaws, creating a board with term limits and fuller job descriptions for each position. The new Board is meeting January 14 with the old Board in a transition meeting that will kick off the new year.
Major activities planned by the Board for this year are our 2017 symposium with two visiting clay artists, the ClayHouston member show to be held again at Tea & Art, monthly Clay Talks critique nights, quarterly programs and member meetings, and participation in Gathering of the Guilds and Family Fun Day at the Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts. Our first program on February 1 is a studio visit and tour of Box 13 Art Space with ceramic artist Jessica Kreutter, who is an incoming CH Board member.
We on the Board have as a priority the building of community among ceramic artists in Houston. We look forward to participating with you in ClayHouston programs, workshops, critiques, and exhibits. Come join us for networking, friendship, professional development… and, of course, fun.

Ceramic artist Jessica Kreutter works in parts and pieces and is interested in creating objects and spaces that are in transformation. This year she had a solo show at Blue Orange Gallery and received a Houston Arts Alliance Individual Artist Grant. She has created an unfired clay installation for the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) Project Space, and her clay installation work was featured in the January 2014 Issue of Ceramics Monthly. Her residencies include the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and Anderson Ranch.
Kreutter’s studio is in BOX 13 ArtSpace, an artist run nonprofit space dedicated to the creation and advancement of experimental contemporary art in Houston. It offers affordable workspaces for artists working in all media and exhibition space for juried exhibits.
The program is co-sponsored with the Visual Arts Alliance of Houston.
