Viva la Mexico!

You're invited to
The BAYarts Ceramic Studio's student show "Viva la Mexico"
Opening Reception: Friday, May 13, 7-9p.m.
28795 Lake Road, Bay Village

Come for the art, stay for the food (or vice-versa)!
Fifteen ceramic artists are showing work this year, all inspired by the art and culture of Mexico. Here's a sneak preview:

Erin's great and glorious "Frida Platter"

Joan made this sweet Frida bird feeder

Decorative table ware by Joe

Diane made a whole series of pots, bowls, and cups,
all with different designs using red, ochre, and turquoise underglazes.

Denise made these fun fish plates.
She's working on larger platters and plates too

Sue P.'s Sun. Several of us decided to make suns...
We thought they'd make a striking display on the back wall of the gallery.

This one's mine (Sue K.)

And here's one of my bowls.

We also all made rustic pinch bowls. Joan gave hers a "Day of the Dead" flair.

We'll have stacks of these pinch bowls for people to eat their food
at the opening. For a small donation, they can keep it.

These are Leah's thrown pots with metallic black interiors
and interesting crackle exteriors.

Joan's "Ladies"

Sue P.'s Platter

Jessica's "Dancing Ladies"

Alison's plate. She's making nice large colanders, too!

Julie's double-dipper bowl

Erin's bird plates, PLUS the lid to the awesome collaborative jar!

I threw the jar, Joan made the sculptural lid (with ibis and iguanas), and Erin painted the decoration (inspired by Mexican embroidery designs).

The interior is royal blue, and there will be royal blue bands
at the top and bottom (around the fish).
It's in the glaze kiln this week...
