Coastal Studies is a collection of ceramic work by Babson senior Chloe Rourke-Nicholas. Inspired by the coastal landscape of the North Shore of Massachusetts, where Chloe grew up, the collection includes pieces of porcelain and stoneware work. The materials, scale, and method of the pieces play on the inherent contrasts of the coast. Light also serves as an inspiration, both functionally, through the creation of practical lighting fixtures, and aesthetically, through the power it has to transform a coastline.

Chloe began practicing ceramics in high school at Kimball Union Academy and has continued her practice independently at Babson's Ceramics Studio, where she is the Studio Manager. Funded by the BabsonARTS Student Arts Grant, Chloe was able to explore new methods and materials, including slip casting and porcelain through this project.

This event is open to the public. Registration is encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome.
