Come join us SATURDAY, DEC. 4, 6-9 pm for...

To inaugurate December, artist Katy Krantz has created a diverse arrangement of nonfunctional and functional ceramic works on the idea of "the centerpiece." Her quixotic shapes range from serving dishes, vase containers, gigantic beads and abstract sculptures--the connecting point being her unusual scale and a surface treatment that reflects a curiosity in material and an obvious trace of process.


















KATY KRANTZ:
The Centerpiece


ART OBJECTS + LIFE OBJECTS:
ceramics for a table top, for flowers, for a celebration, for a dinner party, for personal ornamentation, for enjoyment!
