Join us for Annual Meeting Thursday, September 24th at Lidia’s.
Let’s gather to celebrate you — the incredible members who make our IIDA community thrive. We’re thrilled to return to Lidia’s for this beloved annual tradition of connection, appreciation, and great food.
Our speaker for the afternoon will be Emily Reinhardt. Emily is a ceramic artist and designer whose work focuses on beautiful, functional ceramic objects for the home. In her studio in the Crossroads Arts district of Kansas City, Missouri, Emily designs and builds by hand a variety of one-of-a-kind objects, including plates, vases, wall hangings, tumblers, mugs, goblets, and trays. Her modern, unfussy aesthetic features perfectly imperfect shapes and stunning surface design techniques, such as striking glazes, touches of gold luster, bold patterns, texture, and raised effects.
Emily founded The Object Enthusiast in 2011 and continues to grow a loyal community of customers and students, teaching classes through Claymates in Kansas City. She is also the co-founder of Duet, the shop that shares a space with her Crossroads studio. Emily lives in Kansas City, Missouri. To see more of her work, follow along @theobjectenthusiast on Instagram.
This members-only event is complimentary, but seating is limited. Please RSVP early — and only if you’re certain you can join us — to ensure everyone has the opportunity to attend. We can’t wait to celebrate another remarkable year with you over Lidia’s famous pasta trio.
