Join us on Thursday, June 5th, 2025 at 7 PM for an illustrated lecture by Artist, Matt Wedel, recent winner of The Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale grand prize.
Wedel’s sculptures reflect a deeply personal yet universal exploration of material and form. His large-scale floral and figurative works exude both vulnerability and monumentality, embodying a sense of growth, fragility and resilience.
Lunenburg School of the Arts is deeply honoured to present this internationally acclaimed ceramics superstar!
This is a free event, no registration required.
“Matt Wedel (b. 1983, Palisade, Colorado) is a ceramic artist known for his innovative approach to sculpture, pushing the boundaries of scale, color, and materiality. Immersed in the world of clay from an early age under the mentorship of his father, a functional potter, Wedel developed a profound connection to the medium, which continues to shape his artistic practice.
He earned his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005 and his MFA in Ceramics from California State University, Long Beach, in 2007, studying under Tony Marsh and Kristen Morgin. His practice is rooted in both traditional ceramics and an expansive sculptural language that embraces abstraction, figuration, and landscape.”
