Tony Macias has been a long time resident at the House of RAD. The House of RAD, which has been in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood since it's inception, is in the process of moving to a new, bigger location in the Menomonee River Valley. They have doubled the space of the original location and, consequently, Tony has doubled the space of his studio, Looking Wolf Studios. This has allowed Tony to start teaching classes to help others realize the joy of ceramics. He believes that ceramics have power to communicate ideas and concepts the same way paintings or sculpture can. A vase or a plate, done the right way, can be just as emotionally moving as more traditional forms of art.

Tony has a show coming up at the Museum of Wisconsin Art's downtown location at The Saint Kate arts hotel. At the time of filming Tony did not yet have a name for the show. Since then he has decided on a name. The show will be called "Terra Firma" and it will be held March 6th - June 14th. The show is in thanks to the late Anwar Floyd-Pruitt. Anwar was a resident at the House of RAD as well as a former artist in residence at The Saint Kate. Anwar saw how dedicated Tony was to his art, working long hours in his studio at the House of RAD. The show explores the connective tissue that we all share. Tony wants people to walk away with with a better understanding of themselves and the unique qualities that make them who they are.
