BEDMINSTER, N.J. - June 1, 2023 - PRLog -- The Center for Contemporary Art ("The Center"), in collaboration with Claymore Vets (claymorevets.org), is pleased to invite members of the community to join us for "Creating Community with Ehren Tool," a ceramics workshop, on Saturday, June 17 from 9:30am - 4:30pm.

Join us for a day of creating and embellishing cups representing your unique experiences. Veterans and civilians are invited to bring personal items to use in this workshop. This workshop is free for veterans.

During the workshop you will use images and medals, along with other items, to make molds and decorate these cups. The dialogue from military and civilian attendees, sharing individual and collective experiences, will create a unique discussion among the attendees of this workshop.

Cups thrown by Ehren Tool will be provided. You will create one-of-a-kind cups that exhibit a representation of your experience.
