Please join us as internationally reknown Montanta clay artist Richard Notkin shows us a visual retrospective of his ceramic works.
 
Friday, February 6, 7pm
THE VENUE HAS MOVED!
 
Due to high demand, the lecture has been moved to a larger venue.
 
The lecture will be held at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, located in Port Chester at the corner of Westchester Avenue and Pearl Street.  
 
The lecture will be held in the church's beautiful community room. The entrance is located off the parking lot on the left side of the church (if you are facing it from Westchester Avenue).    Park in the church parking lot or on Westchester Avenue.
 
Also, if you are commuting from the city, this venue is just a block from the Port Chester Metro North train station.  From the train station, go right onto Westchester Avenue, and the church will be on your left. 
 
If you need to run a mapquest, run 168 Westchester Avenue, Port Chester, NY (this is a restaurant located directly across the street from the church)
 
SO THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MORE!
If you would like to come, please RSVP to leigh@clayartcenter.org  Please be prepared to pay $5 at the door.
