This is our next show, opening on July 31st 2009,
and the premise is simple:
Four artists create four hand built ceramic forms
each and then each form is then handed over and
glazed by the other artists.
Nearly all the pieces have been built now, and some
of them glazed already...this is going to be a very
exciting show!
