Open studio on Nov. 22, 23 and 24; and Dec. 6, 7, and 8, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Unique ceramic sculptures and functional pottery use wheel thrown and slab construction techniques. Sculptural pieces are fired at a variety of temperatures and may include some mixed media elements. These elements are chosen with care to make the piece resonate with a shared cultural experience and often make people laugh. Porcelain and white stoneware are the clay bodies used and pieces are made in a traditional manner with a bit of a creative twist.

Studio located at 15576 Waterloo Circle, Truckee.
