Pre-Session Work Week, May 28 - June 6 An opportunity to trade labor for time and space at Watershed. Session I, June 8 - 20, Guest Artists Paula Winokur & Berry Matthews  Paula Winokur’s work in porcelain takes its cue from the earth itself. Her large scale “ledges” and “rifts” are stark landscapes that at once capitalize the receptive, opaque surface of porcelain with the rich textures of coarse and polished stone. Her work can be found in major collections in the US and Europe. Recently retired after 30 years as Professor of Fine Art at Arcadia University, Paula has re-dedicated herself to her studio and continues teaching through workshops and lectures throughout the nation. 
Berry Matthews has a history of traveling. Currently in Mexico she has lived and worked
on both coasts of the US and many places in between. Her work draws from these
travels Berry’s whimsical teapots and delicately encompassing installations travel
the spectrum of ceramics in much the same way, and are exhibited more widely
than she has traveled herself. Berry is Associate Professor of Art at SUNY Plattsburgh.
