News and Recent Events
Strictly Functional Pottery National - 17th Annual
Juried by Pete Pinnell, states about the show: as one of the preeminent ceramic exhibitions in the country.
Jurors statement:
Function is the tool that allows work of art to play an active role in the events and processes of our lives. Function pushes art out of the role of critic and outsider, and into the role of participant and insider. As viewer, we expect art to provide with strong visual and intellectual experience. Function provides a way for us to appreciate these objects for their tactile and experiential qualities and to accept them as intimate partners in our lives. Function allows art to stop being passive, and begin being active. (Quote from a section of Pinnell's jurors statement to participating artists)

Lisa has been working on a large wall commission with final dimensions of 47"X27". It is an exciting piece with Lilies and Humming birds in relief.
I really enjoy the opportunity to express
my ideas in a different format. The challenges to my aesthetic and technical skills are both keenly present in the project. Look for images on the site when project is completed soon.
