SUMMARY:Gathering of Artists - Nathan Moore\, Ceramic Artist - Ames Community Arts Council
DESCRIPTION:Nathan Moore will host the Ames Community Arts Council’s monthly Gathering of Artists on Tues.\, June 17 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Gallery of the Creative Artists’ Studios (CASA)\, located at 130 S. Sheldon Ave.\, Ames. Come to enjoy a reception for an exhibition titled Form//Line. There will be a short presentation by the artist at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. \nArtists and art enthusiasts of all types are invited to the Gatherings\, where they can meet other artists\, build community\, and have fun. The Gatherings are free and open to all.\nForm//Line is a ceramic sculpture exhibition by Moore that takes inspiration from the minimalism movement. \n“These sculptures are what minimalism promotes best\, simplicity. What they lack in color and other elements\, they make up for in thought-provoking lines and forms\,” said Moore in a written artist statement. “The clay\, which is a mix of porcelain and stoneware\, takes on shapes that might look industrial and geometric and possibly challenges ideas of how ceramics ought to be. The surface treatment of these pieces with silver\, grey\, rustic being the focus of the glazes reflect an industrial look that pairs with the geometric minimalism.” \nMoore is a ceramic artist and teacher whose studio is located in CASA and offers mobile pottery workshops\, in-studio lessons\, and handmade ceramics.\nThe monthly Gathering of Artists is hosted by the Ames Community Arts Council and made possible with the support of the City of Ames Commission on the Arts [COTA]. Additional support for this exhibit is provided by the Iowa Arts Council\, which exists within the Iowa Economic Development Authority. \nIf you would like more information about participating in or hosting a gathering\, please contact the Ames Community Arts Council by e-mailing info@amesart.org\, visiting the website at www.amesart.org\, or calling 515-259-0494.

SUMMARY:Empty Bowls Throwing Session at the Workspace
DESCRIPTION:Fri.\, May 30\, 2025 4 – 7p.m.\, ISU Memorial Union Workspace\, East Basement\, 2229 Lincoln Way \nRegister here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4AACA82EAAF9CE9-55985558-workspace \nJoin local artists at the Workspace\, to make bowls for the 2025 Empty Bowls soup supper to be held in November. If you’re interested in helping\, join us on Fri.\, May 30\, between 4 – 7 p.m. The Workspace\, in partnership with the Ames Community Arts Council\, will provide clay\, tools\, a wheel\, and the space to create — all you need to do is show up and throw some bowls! \nDue to limited space\, we are asking potters to register in advance. You may sign up for one\, two\, or all three hours. We do ask that if you reserve a space and your plans change\, please release the time so others can fill the timeslot. \nThis opportunity is intended for folks who feel comfortable throwing bowls independently\, as there will not be instructors available. Potters must also commit to returning to the Workspace to trim their bowls between Mon.\, June 2 and Tues.\, June 10 during open hours (Mon. – Fri.\, 2 – 9 p.m. and Sat.\, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.). The Workspace staff will fire and glaze all finished bowls. \nPlease reach out to Workspace staff member Erin McCollum at erinmcc@iastate.edu with any questions. \nAbout the event: Empty Bowls is a global\, grassroots movement that raises money for food-related charities and organizations to fight hunger. Participating artists create and donate bowls\, then organizers serve a simple meal. Guests choose a bowl to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. In addition to the pottery being provided by local artists\, local restaurants and grocery stores also donate to the project. \nThe second annual Empty Bowls will be held Sat.\, Nov. 15 at Collegiate United Methodist Church and Wesley Foundation (2622 Lincoln Way\, Ames). The Ames Community Arts Council\, Hardie Clay Studio\, Creative Artists Studios of Ames\, Nathan & Clay\, the ISU Memorial Union Workspace\, the Octagon Center for the Arts\, and numerous Ames artists\, along with our beneficiary organizations: Gilbert Community School’s Backpack Buddies\, the ISU Students Helping Our Peers (SHOP) food pantry\, and the Ames Community School District\, through a central HOPE (Helping Other People Eat) Pantry at the newly renovated AMES Center\, are partnering to organize an Empty Bowls event to address food insecurity for students across the community.
