Paul Andrew Wandless author of Image Transfers on Clay will be giving a workshop at California State University, Northridge on Wednesday, April 23rd from 2-5pm, he will also present a lecture on his work on Friday April 25th from 1-3pm.

Artist Bio
Born in Florida, artist Paul Andrew Wandless has his studio in the Philadelphia, PA area. The artist works in a variety of media, crossing boundaries between traditional craft and contemporary image making in ceramic, painting and printmaking. A Presidential Appointee to the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) since 2003,
Wandless is one of a select few internationally prominent African American artists working in the ceramics medium. A published author, and curator of exhibitions, Wandless actively promotes artists whose work, like his, challenges traditional notions of image and the "art object." In his words..."ultimately, my work is meant to engage and inform the viewer by telling my side of the story of how I see the world through my personal experiences, insights and philosophy."
