From September 8, 2012 through December 30 2012, the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown has an exhibition featuring 10 artists. It is called "Creative Hand, Discerning Heart: Story, Symbol, Self" and this film profiles the sculptor Syd Carpenter.

Syd Carpenter creates ceramic sculptures that relate to African American farms and gardens of the American South. This long time Swarthmore art professor is one of the Philadelphia region's most talented and imaginative artists. She has pushed the medium of ceramics into new realms of creativity.
