Around 40 ceramic artworks by acclaimed artist George Muscat will be displayed at the Middle sea House in Floriana, in an exhibition titled “Changing Metaphors in Clay,” from March 27 to April 9.

The exhibition is being sponsored by Middlesea Insurance p.l.c. This event compliments Middlesea Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility towards promoting the local arts. Part of the proceedings of this exhibition will be donated by the artist to Caritas.

Art critic Dr Louis Lagana has described George Muscat as “one of the most talented ceramic-sculptors in Malta”, whose “latest creative techniques in the art of clay have reached a high level of aesthetic value.” 

George Muscat first started as an enthusiastic potter on the wheel and later, immersed himself in experimentation with various ceramic methods and techniques. Subsequently he was instrumental in introducing courses in “Raku firings in Malta.”

He currently teaches students of art and design at MCAST.

The exhibition will be open from 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and 10:00 to 13:00 on Saturday. Entrance is free of charge. It is a must see for anyone interested in the current ceramic scene!
