Join Roberto Lugo for a hands-on making event where he will lead a wheel-throwing demonstration

The Princeton University Art Museum welcomes artist, ceramist, social activist, poet, and educator Roberto Lugo to Art@Bainbridge. Learn how to decorate a pre-thrown vessel with visual motifs that combine classic patterns and elements of hip-hop and streetwear.

Lugo’s work will be on view in the exhibition Roberto Lugo / Orange and Black from Saturday, February 15 to Sunday, July 6 at Art@Bainbridge. The exhibition features vases that draw on the shapes, techniques, and decorative motifs of ancient Greek vessels to tell personal and communal stories of contemporary social and political oppression.
