Partnered with "Influence and Creativity: A Retrospective of Rock Creek Pottery" in NCC's main gallery, the exhibition "Inspiration and Discovery, Pathways to Expression" honors how the work of Will Ruggles and Douglass Rankin continues to shape American craft by serving as the inspirational links in a lineage of potters who respect deep roots and who acknowledge that a good pot can emerge naturally through trust in one’s intuition.
