Join us for a FREE Artist Talk and glassblowing demonstration this September with Glass Annex Program Coordinator, Emily Potter!

Growing up amidst the vast, rolling fields of Northwest Ohio, Emily Clair Potter developed a deep appreciation for the natural world. The rhythmic repetition of organic forms has profoundly shaped her exploration of the intimate connections that exist within the shared structures of living beings. Potter began working with glass in 2018. She was drawn to the material’s fluidity and transformative nature. She continues to explore the way glass moves, shifts, and connects, reflecting the continuous and interconnected cycle of life. The inherent fluidity of glass allows Potter to investigate how organic forms can morph and flow into one another, creating a dynamic, evolving relationship between form and structure. Her work has been recognized with accolades, including a research grant through Bowling Green State University, her alma mater where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Learn about Potter’s process and inspirations during her Artist Talk and watch her in action on First Friday as she leads the glassblowing demo to make a floral piece of art.

This programming is in conjunction with Potter’s special topic class Fire to Finish
