Art Viewing Adventures: Let’s Talk Tabletop (Virtual)

We’re joined by Avril Angevine to discuss California Ceramics. Pottery has been a part of human culture for some 50,000 year. Archeological digs from around the world — and in your own backyard — routinely turn up intriguing shards.

California’s ample deposits of clay and talc ensured a strong pottery tradition here, and California potters have played a leading role in the development of this humble and beautiful craft. Learn about some of the state’s most interesting clay crafters, from studios in Berkeley, on Catalina Island, in Southern California—familiar names like Arequipa, California Faience, Bauer, Metlox, and fascinating individuals like Marguerite Wildenhain, Jade Snow Wong, and Edith Heath.
