Once your piece is in the greenware stage, we will be discussing the different options on how to finish your piece using underglazes, glazes or acrylics. No clay experience needed.

[more+]The opening reception for "Beautiful, I Am!" and "Naked Emotions Exposed will be Thursday, January 16, from 5 - 7 PM. Johnson will also be doing a book signing at the opening reception.
We are excited to present two new exhibitions by fine art photographer Stan J. Johnson at the Florida A&M University Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery.
"Beautiful, I Am!" is a vibrant photography project that celebrates the self-esteem and inherent beauty of Black individuals. Through captivating portraits and personal narratives, this project aims to challenge societal perceptions and affirm the uniqueness of each subject. By highlighting their individuality and strength, "Beautiful, I Am!" seeks to empower participants, fostering a positive dialogue around self-acceptance and mental health within the Black community.
"Naked Emotions Exposed" is a powerful black-and-white photography project that vulnerably delves into the mental health struggles of Black individuals, illuminating the often-unseen emotional landscapes within this community. Through striking imagery, the project seeks to strip away societal masks, revealing the raw, unfiltered feelings that shape their experiences. Each photograph is a poignant exploration of resilience, pain, joy, and vulnerability, inviting viewers to confront and understand the complex tapestry of Black mental health with empathy and insight.
Admission is free and open to the public.

[more+]The LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library System warmly welcomes artist Alan Doerman. While stationed in San Antonio, Alan toured the traveling art show titled 30 Centuries of Mexican Art—its depth and breadth captured his heart and soul. Alan's retablo is a circa 1800s piece dedicated to San Martín de Porres, an Afro-Peruvian saint. The medium includes wood, leather, tin art, and plastic clay.
Artist Biography:Alan is a retired United States Air Force veteran and former VA Medical Center professional from Oklahoma. Now fully embracing retirement, he enjoys dedicating his time to creativity and community. His love for art is matched only by his deep faith, devotion to his spouse, and the joy he finds in his grandchildren. A proud resident of Tallahassee, he values the connections he has built with his neighbors and the city he calls home.
This Mexican art-inspired exhibit will be on display at the Eastside Branch Library from March 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025.

[more+]The opening reception for "Beautiful, I Am!" and "Naked Emotions Exposed will be Thursday, January 16, from 5 - 7 PM. Johnson will also be doing a book signing at the opening reception.
We are excited to present two new exhibitions by fine art photographer Stan J. Johnson at the Florida A&M University Foster-Tanner Fine Arts Gallery.
"Beautiful, I Am!" is a vibrant photography project that celebrates the self-esteem and inherent beauty of Black individuals. Through captivating portraits and personal narratives, this project aims to challenge societal perceptions and affirm the uniqueness of each subject. By highlighting their individuality and strength, "Beautiful, I Am!" seeks to empower participants, fostering a positive dialogue around self-acceptance and mental health within the Black community.
"Naked Emotions Exposed" is a powerful black-and-white photography project that vulnerably delves into the mental health struggles of Black individuals, illuminating the often-unseen emotional landscapes within this community. Through striking imagery, the project seeks to strip away societal masks, revealing the raw, unfiltered feelings that shape their experiences. Each photograph is a poignant exploration of resilience, pain, joy, and vulnerability, inviting viewers to confront and understand the complex tapestry of Black mental health with empathy and insight.
Admission is free and open to the public.

[more+]The LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library System warmly welcomes artist Alan Doerman. While stationed in San Antonio, Alan toured the traveling art show titled 30 Centuries of Mexican Art—its depth and breadth captured his heart and soul. Alan's retablo is a circa 1800s piece dedicated to San Martín de Porres, an Afro-Peruvian saint. The medium includes wood, leather, tin art, and plastic clay.
Artist Biography:Alan is a retired United States Air Force veteran and former VA Medical Center professional from Oklahoma. Now fully embracing retirement, he enjoys dedicating his time to creativity and community. His love for art is matched only by his deep faith, devotion to his spouse, and the joy he finds in his grandchildren. A proud resident of Tallahassee, he values the connections he has built with his neighbors and the city he calls home.
This Mexican art-inspired exhibit will be on display at the Eastside Branch Library from March 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025.

We’ll make everything from pinch pots to garden sculptures. The class will include discussion of clay, glazes, and kilns that will give students a holistic understanding of ceramics.
This class is repeatable as students continue their journeys in clay.
Experience level: Brand new to intermediate level experience. Students brand new to hand building will be guided through a series of projects to learn basic techniques and can expect to complete 4-6 pieces. Students with prior hand building experience will work on refining and strengthening their hand building skills through a mix of larger scale guided and self-determined projects.
Student work will be available for pick up 1-3 weeks after the end of the class.
Enrollment includes one 25 lb. bag of clay
