Small Favors


  • The Clay Studio 1425 North American Street Philadelphia, PA, 19122 United States (map)

Pleased to be invited to this annual exhibit curated by Jennifer Zwilling at The Clay Studio. to visit and shop the online exhibit. I created Veiled Lady, Petit Fungi Shield for the exhibit as well as my two Petit Pit-Fired Rongorongos: Flying Fish and Rongorongo Dance.

Small Favors 2023 is the 17th anniversary of this beloved exhibition. It will be on view at The Clay Studio’s new building for the first time with their first anniversary at 1425 N American Street in April. Among almost 400 small artworks displayed in 4-inch cubes you will find big ideas, individuality, and material awareness. To celebrate that this truly is an exhibition for everyone, a few years ago, Small Favors included artists working in different materials. This year we are excited to have art in wood, metal, glass, fiber, paper, and paint. The majority of the works are examples of small ceramic artworks that range from tiny mugs to intricate sculptures. 

Artists represented in Small Favors range from the most established ceramic artists in the field, to young artists new to the field. Small Favors engages artists' creativity in new and exciting ways with the challenge of making pieces on a very small scale. There is an open call each year for juried work, as well as a group of invited artists who participate. This year hosts artworks from Japan, China and Budapest in addition to those from around the United States. 

Small Favors offers work in a broad price range from $35 to $3,500 and encourages people to become collectors while offering efficiency of space for established collectors. Click link below to visit and shop the online exhibit.
