The Arts Council is proud to present:

Internationally renowned,
Sylvia Hyman
Known for her visual deceptions.


Sylvia Hyman was in her forties when she first began working in clay, quickly gaining international recognition. Five decades later she continues to re-invent herself as an artist as she pushes the boundaries of her medium. Sylvia translates everyday items that reflect her own interests and personal history—letters, maps, scrolls of sheet music, and books—into stoneware and porcelain, then screenprints them with text, symbols, or images.

In 2007, Curt Hahn directed the documentary 'Sylvia Hyman: Eternal Wonder' which traces the evolution of Hyman's career as an artist. As a master of 'trompe l'oeil clay,' Hyman's sculptures inspire both disorientation and delight when viewers realize that everyday objects that appear to be made of wood, cardboard and paper are actually superbly realized simulations made of clay.

Please join us May 15th, 6 - 8 pm,
for an educational presentation by internationally renowned
Sylvia Hyman.


Light refreshments will be served.
