Fired Up: A Contemporary Ceramics Survey Opens July 25 at Creative Growth

This summer, we’re turning up the heat. Fired Up, Creative Growth’s latest exhibition, brings together a bold and joyful survey of ceramic works created by artists from our studio program—on view July 25 through August 30, 2025 in our Oakland gallery.

 

Clay has always had a strong presence at Creative Growth. It’s immediate, tactile, and endlessly adaptable—qualities that make it a favorite among artists in our studio. Fired Up honors this history while spotlighting the vibrancy and experimentation alive in our ceramics practice today.

 

The exhibition features both recent and historic works, with contributions from longtime studio artists and emerging voices alike. From sculptural statements to unexpected textures and glazes, the show celebrates the expressive potential of clay in all its forms. Anchoring the exhibition are two striking window installations by Creative Growth artists Nathaniel Jackson and Dan Hamilton, whose works offer dynamic large-scale entries into the world of ceramics.
