The Oconee Cultural
Arts Foundation is proud to host George McCauley, a professional potter who will feature a casual and engaging two-day workshop at the School Street Studio's Pottery Studio. 
During this demonstration, George will throw and hand-build, answer questions, talk about the process, history, work, travels, experiences, tell jokes and lies of equal value. George will also assemble the parts of pottery he has worked on and will finish all pieces. His work includes pots and sculptural pieces with embellishments, some with presentation bases. 



George Metropoulos McCauley, a Greek/American potter, has
had 23 solo shows and has been included in 190 exhibitions
and conducted over 100 workshops internationally. 

The recipient of three National Endowment for the Arts grants and the prestigious 
Roy Acuff Chair of Excellence for the Arts at Austin Peay State University 
in Clarkesville, TN, his pottery and sculpture are included in 
international collections in 11 countries. He was the first non-Asian 
artist to be shown and included in the permanent collection of the Ajo 
Museum of Asian Art in Seoul, South Korea. He recently returned 
from 3 months in Japan where he made work for 2 exhibitions and 
conducted workshops. He will be returning to Japan in 2014 and 
bringing the Japanese potter Koichi Yamamoto to the US in 2015 as 
part of a cultural exchange program. 
In addition to his studio work 
George has made 2 documentary films, "Archie C. Bray Jr.: Life at the Brickyard" and "Ron Meyers and the Usual Suspects". 



This workshop

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
