Earth, Alchemy, Fire
On April 24, artist and ceramist Demetria Chappo will help us explore the fire within. Through the lens of her ceramic practice—specifically her smoke-fired works marked forever by flame and chance—Demetria will share how process, practice, and intention come together to keep our internal embers burning.

Join us for a morning of reflection on creative energy, the tactile magic of clay, and the practice of finding what lights you up when the spark feels dim.

CreativeMornings Hudson Valley
The creative path is often celebrated for its bright, roaring flames. The big launch, the high energy, the loud success. But there is a different kind of strength found in what stays warm long after the intensity fades.

This month, CreativeMornings Hudson Valley joins chapters around the globe to explore the theme Ember.

Embers represent the quiet, enduring remnants of fire. They carry a smoldering potential and a subtle strength, reminding us that even after significant change, something powerful remains, ready to reignite when the time is right. In a world that often demands we burn at our brightest, there is a profound resilience in the steady, quiet glow of ideas, relationships, and dreams that don’t need noise to thrive.
