The exhibition will surprise and delight visitors with playful, unexpected, and elegant creations using diverse techniques. There is a timeless vessel hand-burnished and pit fired, rims of porcelain on a moon-white bowl, a book of ceramic pages and floating eggs, a playful vessel with a beak, a big bowl to hold water, an oak-ash glazed platter, a wild blue bowl of underwater life, a creature with arms reaching everywhere, black lines rising from an earthy tube, a stately and innovative vessel, and a bowl painted with Andean healing plants.
