St. Edward's University is pleased to present Vessels: Transformed by Fire, an exhibition featuring work from Central Texas clay artists Finn Alban and Marian Haigh. The exhibition will be on display Sept. 12 through Oct. 5 in the gallery of the Fine Arts Center on campus.

Maintaining her studio near Fredericksburg, Alban specializes in stoneware and porcelain is vessels. She fires her work in one of the few wood-burning kilns in Central Texas. Operating her home studio in west Austin, Haigh has had her work published nationally. Her porcelain vessels are hand built, sometimes using fragments of images to suggest a story.

Exhibition hours are Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information about the Art Exhibition Series contact Stan Irvin at 512-448-8685.
