Hi all, sorry for the short notice! Sonya is out at the Lodi Sandhill Crane Festival exhibiting her work.
“ So much of my work is inspired by nature. The Sandhill cranes are such majestic creatures. I stand in awe each time I see them. It inspires me to capture that moment of awe in a permanent ceramic piece”.
She is featuring her Sandhill pottery and her organic ware. Come out to Hutchins Street Square in Lodi, CA. Hours are Sat. & Sun (Nov 8-9) from 10am to 4 pm in the Exhibit Hall. Don’t forget to take a tour to see the cranes!

There are some good restaurant in Galt. Pic of new mugs and bottles out of the kiln, plus the usual favorites. Come out and see her! New sculpture to come for the Christmas Studio Sale in Dec.

Sara Morris, the Crocker’s Ruth Rippon Curator of Ceramics, asks Rachel Gotlieb, guest curator of "The Portland Vase: Mania and Muse," to share a little bit more about her relationship with the Portland Vase and her experience organizing the exhibition.

Sonya Announces her class at the Crocker Art Museum on the topic of the Portland Vase. The class will be Sat August 3rd from 10:30 to 3:00. Register on the Crocker Art Museum website. Space is limited so don't wait. We will start by viewing the exhibit together to gather background on the history of the Portland Vase and how it has shown up in other potteries and artists' work. Then we will form a Portland style vase using the coil method (if you have experience, you can choose another method) using the air-sculpt clay called Mexo-clay, a non-fired clay. We will take a lunch break to let the base of the vase firm up a little. The new café at the museum is awesome or bring your own lunch. After lunch we will complete the form of the Portland style vase. As you do, you will be brainstorming on how to interpret what you want to say about the Portland Vase. Will you do painting of the Roman figures in a stylized way? Will you replace the figures with a contemporary cultural interpretation, like Roberto Lugo? Will you make your own reproduction of it like Josiah Wedgewood? Will you make an abstraction like Chris Wight from the exhibit? Will you create a decoupage collage of images to finish the surface? Once you have completed your vase, you will take it home to dry and use the plan & drawings you made in class to finish the surface.

Bob & Sonya Announce our Annual Summer Studio Exhibit coming up Sat July 13th & Sun July 14th, 2024. It will be at our Galt Studio from 10am to 2pm. There is air conditioning, but come early if it is hot. We will each have our newest sculpture work on display. Bob has been working in his series of literal translations of idioms. See the latest piece, Grasping at Straws, 2024, in the postcard image below. His investigation into figurative language, brings up many interesting threads of discussion on the nature of language and how it changes over time. Sonya has new sculpture work related to her M.A. she is working on through Boston University. They are textured slab forms, related to time and location with the mission of creating more love for our natural environment and a desire to care for it. See the images on the postcard image below. She will also have some new sculpted Aerial View Bowls, again with the idea of learning about our natural landscape and appreciating it.

On Saturday we are excited to have the music of Jerry Spero for your enjoyment as your browse through the work from 10:30 to 1pm.

Sonya & Bob will also have the favorite functional pottery pieces on display. Many beautiful vases to display your fresh-cut flowers in at home. A good selection of mugs for your favorite cold beverage, and more.
