On view: November 6–December 26, 2025
Artist reception: Friday, November 7, 6:00-9:00 pm

Plinth Gallery rounds out its 2025 exhibitions with a presentation of sculptural ceramics by artist Margaret Bohls. Currently an associate professor of art at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, her work is grounded in her abiding interest in historical vessel forms and their social context. Plinth will showcase her “Bucchero” collection of black and white coil-built stoneware from her “Italian” series, which is based on an examination of several types of historical ceramics produced on the Italian peninsula. The exhibition opens November 1 with a First Friday Reception on Nov 7, 6-9 p.m., and will be on view through December 26, 2025, at 3520 Brighton Blvd in Denver’s RiNo Art District. Gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday, 12 to 5 p.m., and by appointment. All works will be available to purchase.

Bohls is a highly regarded educator, having taught ceramics at the college level for over twenty-five years. She previously taught at the University of Minnesota and as visiting faculty for Ohio University, Penn State University, and NSCAD University in Halifax. Bohls’ work has been shown in over 100 group and solo exhibitions since 1995 and is included in the permanent collections of several museums including the Everson Museum in Syracuse, The Weisman Museum and the Minnesota Museum of American Art in the Twin Cities, the American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA), and in the Sonny and Gloria Kamm Teapot Foundation Collection. She received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Louisiana State University.
