The Clay Studio Presents ‘Raymond Rorke: In Memoriam’

The Clay Studio presents “Raymond Rorke: In Memoriam,” a collection of ceramic works created by the late Raymond Rorke. A beloved friend and graphic designer at The Clay Studio for six years, this special exhibition honors the contributions he made to Philadelphia’s ceramic community and features works he created until his recent passing earlier this year.”What clay has given me over the years — as have my teachers and students — is a way forward, where daily awareness and creation can be practiced and deepened.” Rorke once shared. “These days at the studio I’m surrounded by clay in all its glory — from the beginner’s first encounter holding a lump of clay to the master’s skilled transformation of clay into a cultural touchstone — and as I myself work with clay, I am also on a journey of learning and mentoring in an ever-widening community of clay practitioners.”
