An exhibition of small-scale functional ceramic works that celebrate surfaces, decoration, and detail.&nbsp;Guest juried by Lindsay Scypta and Mike Stumbras Please join us for an Opening Reception on Saturday, September 19, from 5:00-7:00 PM
Clay Art Center presents the fourth Annual Functional Fall Exhibition: Handled With Care, guest juried by former Artists-in-Residence Lindsay Scypta and Mike Stumbras. The exhibition features small- to medium-scale handmade ceramic works that revel in surface, decoration, and detail, and includes works by 28 artists at all stages of their careers, representing 14 states. An Opening Reception will take place Saturday, September 19th, from 5:00-7:00 PM. Enjoy artist talks, light refreshments, and be there for the Juror Prize announcement! Free to the public to attend in Clay Art Center’s Gallery located at 40 Beech Street, Port Chester, NY. &nbsp;
The exhibition will be on view in the gallery and online from September 1st to October 17th. The functional ceramics presented in this exhibition engage audiences with the tactile and visual possibilities of ceramic surface through the use of varied techniques including layering, carving, stamping, slip, glaze, luster, pattern, and more. Small scale invites closeness and embraces the sense of touch, asking the viewer to slow down, to hold, to feel, and to repeatedly return. This exhibition seeks to showcase the ways artists use scale and ornamentation to develop and amplify meaning across a variety of themes from the sheer celebration of ceramics making through materials and processes, to works that explore personal identity, nature, and human relationships. 
Participating Artists: Emily Albee, JoAnn Axford, Hayne Bayless, Angel Brame, Patricia Briggs, Stefanie Burdick, Julie Buyon, Jordan Coons, Sharon Greenwood, Kade Helin-Burnette, Samantha Hostert, Molly Johnson, Yutong Liao, Vasudha Maiya, Aimee Marcinko, Sam McCall, Philip Perry, Gina Pisto, Anna Price, Melodie Reay, Macayla Sandusky, Steve Sitrin, Bethany Slater, Noah Smith, Julia Steiman, Mark Tarabula, Angela Tilley, and Sofia Vidal.
Gallery audiences can also participate in the People’s Choice voting to nominate their favorite piece for a prize. Juror Prize announcement and People’s Choice Voting take place in September and October respectively. Voting in the People’s Choice category gets underway September 14th and will be announced on Instagram (@clayartcenter), and in our newsletter. Voting takes place in person and online. The People’s Choice winner will be announced on October 12th, 2026

It is deeply meaningful to share these sculptures at the Jay Heritage Center, a place rooted in the history of American diplomacy. Here, they connect the story of our modern embassies abroad with John Jay’s legacy as a statesman at home and diplomat abroad. — Jorge Otero-Pailos
<h3>About the Work</h3>
Analogue Sites is a series of steel sculptures by Spanish-American artist and preservationist Jorge Otero-Pailos, created in 2019 from fencing salvaged during the preservation of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, designed by Finnish-American modernist master Eero Saarinen. Otero-Pailos transformed this material as a way of preserving its layered history and drawing attention to the U.S. Embassy Program—an unprecedented Cold War–era initiative by the State Department that made modernist architecture and the arts central to American diplomacy abroad. These sculptures raise awareness of these embassies at a time when they are being decommissioned and left with little to no preservation protection.
At the Jay Heritage Center, two works are placed symmetrically in the restored garden parterres, framing the central path. Their mirrored placement reflects themes of balance and reciprocity central to diplomacy and honors John Jay’s historic missions to Spain, France, and England, and his role as a founding figure in American diplomacy.
Sculptures from this series have been exhibited in New York on Park Avenue; in London at Regent’s Park and at Winfield House, the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom; and in Washington, D.C., at the National Museum of American Design.

Otero-Pailos is an internationally recognized New York–based artist, architect, and preservationist known for his monumental casts of historical buildings. He has exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Venice Art Biennale and the British Parliament, and his works are held in major museum collections. Otero-Pailos also teaches and directs the Historic Preservation program at Columbia University GSAPP.
