Two ceramic artists, Errol Willett and Edward Feldman, opened the 2025-26 exhibition year at SUNY Cortland’s Dowd Fine Arts Gallery with the show “Creating Movement and Flow: A Conversation of Form and Utility.” The exhibition, on view through November 14, 2025, features ceramic works that emphasize motion and process over static objects. A series of free public workshops accompanies the show, including two-part sessions led by Feldman in September and Willett in October, focusing on wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the growing recognition of ceramics as a dynamic, process-driven art form and provides a platform for both established and regional artists to engage the SUNY Cortland community. By pairing the show with hands-on workshops, the gallery fosters direct public interaction with the artists and their methods, reinforcing the educational mission of the university’s Art and Art History Department.
