Clay anniversary

Turning the big 4-0 is, well, big, and one art center has an epic celebration planned to mark its 40th anniversary. The Clay Studio's 40-Hour Party features events including a citywide "Guerrilla Mug Assault" replacing folks' disposable cups with free handmade mugs (7 a.m. Friday), a silkscreen workshop with artist Candy Coated (6 p.m. Friday), and a Claymation viewing party (9 p.m. Friday); an overnight installation by ceramic artists and war veterans Ehren Tool and Jesse Albrecht, turning a clay bunker into a wall of cups to be given away (10 a.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday); yoga in the gallery (7:30 a.m. Saturday); a studio tour (9 a.m. Saturday); making clay instruments, with a jam session for kids, guided by artist Kevin Ramler and his "ray-gun twanglings" (10 a.m. Saturday); plus wheel battles between blindfolded bowl makers, an ice cream social, and more (there's a party, but it's booked). All the rest is at the Clay Studio, 137-139 N. Second St. Times: 7 a.m. Friday to 11 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. Information: 215-925-3453 or theclaystudio.org.
