What is the appeal of clay as a material? Erin Robertson will discuss how she creates sculptures and where she gets her inspirations for the various mediums she works in; how her creations shifted from papier-mâché to clay and the learning processes involved; as well as the influence of certain artists she met along the way. Erin will share examples of her work, including ceramics, other sculpture mediums, and public art.
