Dear Culver City, an installation of the ceramic works, will be on display at City Hall from April 15th to June 10th, 2024. The multidisciplinary project by club member Katy Krantz, our City's Artist Laureate, includes the ceramic contributions of over a thousand Culver City community members.For the project, Krantz led over thirty ceramics workshops across the city, engaging with residents and stakeholders of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. The workshops were comprised of two activities: a word brainstorm and a ceramics project. Krantz asked workshop participants to think of words that came to mind when considering Culver City’s past, present, and future. These words were collected on large sheets of paper. Participants then chose one word to stamp in wet clay, which Krantz then fired and glazed. All words written on paper were alphabetized and compiled into documents which were then given to seven local poets who created poems inspired by the collected words.Workshop participants also learned basic ceramics techniques, creating pinch pots and small sculptures that were then fired, glazed, and strung onto cables for the installation. Glazing assistance was generously provided by community volunteers and members of the Culver City Senior Center. ... See MoreSee Less
