Ted Batt: A Passion for Clay

While this is his first exhibition at Sweet Briar, Batt, who has lived and worked in Lynchburg since 2004, has many ties to the College.

“I know a lot of the studio art faculty; one of my pottery students, Lauren Balint, had a show at Sweet Briar last year; and I’ve been to campus many times for gallery shows or Endstation [Theatre Company] productions,” Batt says.

His show will feature a variety of pottery, including large thrown pieces, functional objects such as bowls and vases and sculptural work, both figurative and non-figurative.

“My hope is that visitors will see the endless possibilities of working with clay that I see,” he adds. “Creativity can come in many forms, and clay is a wonderful way to express your creativity.”
