Tonight! Terra Cotta Studio: Alfred State & Alfred University Collaboration Final Presentations

Everyone is invited to attend a presentation of final projects by 17 students from both Alfred University and Alfred State College. The projects are focused on innovative uses of terra cotta. Inspired by Alfred’s terra cotta history, the students have spent the semester learning about it as a material and interacting with many who work with it professionally. The projects range from artistic, to conceptual, to practical. The event is free, and the students look forward to sharing their work with the community. Alfred State Students focused on designing and crafting Terra Cotta tiles.
