October 10: Artist Talk with Sabri Ben-Achour
October 10 Artist Talk with Ceramicist and Journalist, Sabri Ben-Achour
Join us Thursday, October 10th to hear from artist, Sabri Ben-Achour in Mather Court.
Sabri Ben-Achour started making pottery in Missouri when he was 8 years old, just a few years after emigrating there from Tunisia. He went on to apprentice and teach in Washington DC with Jill Hinckley, and has taught in DC and New York for the past 19 years, most recently at the 122 year old Greenwich House Pottery.
His work blends a respect for Japanese design with constant experimentation around the physical and chemical processes of clay and other materials. “I believe we are primed to find beauty in the disorderly order of nature, and trying to evoke or harness that is the basis of much of my work,” he will often write in cards accompanying his work, “there is a lot I don’t know.” Sabri is also a senior correspondent and host for Marketplace, a national business and economics news show on public radio.
