Ceramics artists
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- The Huntington Museum of Art presents "Sources and Influences: Contemporary Clay Artists, Mentors and Students" through May 20.

In keeping with the theme, each of the artists has selected two additional ceramists to display work alongside their own: an artist they consider their mentor, and another that they have mentored.
Ceramics artist Kathleen Kneafsey has been artist-in-residence for the past 10 years. She will lead a guided tour of the exhibit during the March Tuesday Tour, 7 p.m. March 27. A reception follows, and admission is free.
