Current Exhibitions

All Tied Up

Through February 11, 2018

Works by Orie Shafer. Shafer has used rope in drawings, paintings, photography and ceramics since the mid-1970s. In 2015 he took part in the Art Museum's ceramics program run by Jane and Jeff Boswell, increasing his knowledge of the ceramic process and giving him the freedom to take creative chances. Each piece produced in the museum's studio represents an aged find or discovered object. Shafer received bachelor's and master's degrees in art education from Purdue University and chaired the West Lafayette High School art department for 32 years.
