* This exhibition runs Mar. 14–Apr. 12, with a public reception on Sat., Mar. 14. *

With pottery, there is a repetition to the craft, whether through the process, with the result, or both. In the work for this exhibition, Chris Kirages will explore and build two-dimensional imagery through the repetition of handmade clay objects arranged near others of similar size but varying in color, value, and tone, to create a ceramic wall painting.

* This exhibition runs Mar. 14–Apr. 12, with a public reception on Sat., Mar. 14. *

This exhibit consists of two dinnerware designs that are distinctly different. They are both stoneware and made for everyday use in a light and dark clay body with a variety of glazes. The Cafe is a heavy rimmed everyday plate that can take rough use. Think blue plate special at lunch hour in a busy diner. Terra is a sleeker, everyday dinnerware. Think good food with good friends, casual and elegant.
