We’re getting our hands dirty this morning on Indy Style!
June marks Nickel Plate Arts’ annual, organized push to encourage people to explore the arts in their own backyards. The organization’s month-long Nickel Plate Arts Festival celebrates artists and arts experiences in the six towns along the Nickel Plate Railroad: Fishers, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Atlanta and Tipton.
Kandi Jamieson of Arthouse, brought some pottery tools to our studios today, as she talked about how the public will be trying out pottery and working with clay during Mountain of Clay thru June 6.P articipants can get on a pottery wheel and create a small bowl or cup that will be incorporated into a larger community public art sculpture.
