Visions In Clay was founded by the San Joaquin Potters Guild in 2002–2007 and turned over to the Horton Gallery in 2010 to continue presenting the ceramics-based exhibition. Visions In Clay is the largest exhibition of ceramic works in San Joaquin Valley. 

This year’s exhibit features 40 works by 36 artists from around the country, including Delta College Alumni students, Hira Hanif, Mia Hill, and Tyler Mickschl.  

Of special interest this year is the additional presentation of ceramic artwork by Viola Frey (1933-2004). Frey is an Alum Emeritus of San Joaquin Delta College (1951-1953) where she took her first ceramics class with Professor Bruce Duke. After two years at Delta College, she transferred to California College of the Arts and Crafts, Oakland, where she studied ceramics and majored in painting, which Frey integrated to create a barrier-breaking artistic practice. www.violafrey.org
