In Bloom | A Ceramics Exhibition at Stove Works

Exhibition Dates: August 7, 2026 - August 29, 2026
Viewing Hours: Wednesday-Saturday from 12 - 6:30 PM
Venue: Stove Works, 1250 E 13th Street, Chattanooga, TN, 37408  

This thoughtfully-curated exhibition explores the journey of growth through the lens of ceramics, inspired by the life cycle of a flower—from bud to bloom. The work on view reflects themes of transformation, resilience, intuition, authenticity, and the many ways we evolve through life's challenges.

Featuring both functional and sculptural ceramic work from talented regional artists, In Bloom invites viewers to consider that growth isn't always linear—and that quiet moments of change can be just as meaningful as moments of flourishing. Meet the artists, experience this inspiring collection, and support Chattanooga's vibrant clay community. Admission is free and open to the public.

Curated by SCCA Education Coordinator, Summer Tomes
