Case in point.
This is one of Bill Albright's pieces that we found as we walked in.
I got nose to surface to take in the skin on this one... lots of work can lose it as you close in, not any of Bill's work. It just gets better and better as you zoom in.
Just a brief Pot-Parazzi of images from the exhibition...
It was an airy gallery space the size of a football field... filled with sculptural works leaning favorably towards the large.
While the caliber of work was as astounding as I had hoped for... It was the breath and variety of visions that the show brought together that made this a flat out fantastic show...
The 10 bucks needed to get in the gate was the funnest 10 bucks I've spent in a long while...
2 thumbs-up!

I'm sooo jealous, look how close you were to Margaret Keelan's work!! Talk about skin, I would love to get the surfaces of my work to that level! What an amazing show, so glad you remembered your camera :)
what a show!
We visited SF several years ago and loved the city.
We did not find as much clay there then as I see now.
We did find the potters coop in Berkley is it still there?
Nice pics FG! The daylight in the Herbst Pavilion is gorgeous and the work looks so good! Thanks for the pics and the brightness.
Word on the street is they plan to take the show to the next level and double the size!
I would love that!
Hey Tracy! As soon as I saw Margaret Keelan's work, my thoughts turned to you... she was even there and was making herself available for discussions, but we were still too busy doing cartwheels through the exhibition.
Meredith, the Berkley coop is still there and is thriving. The clay community there is astonishingly vibrant. I've been mulling over renting space in one of the group studio's for a few months to make a jump... I'd finally get to meet-up with you Linda! Thanks again for letting me know that the show was happening, I would have missed it if you hadn't posted a heads up.
one of these days FG I'll meet you in person! There will be a great Holiday Cup Sale at Fourth & Clay I was LUCKY enough to be invited to participate in - maybe you can make it to Berkeley for that?
Sorry, I didn't get a chance to cartwheel with you at the show, but I glad you made it!! Well worth it.
i'm so envious joel... beautiful pieces and i can't imagine a space as big as a football field filled with clay.
brilliant stuff and lots of large scale too kinda needed to impose on the space yes, cheers for the pics..Is that an exhibition space??
Looks like a fabulous exhibit! Thanks for posting some pictures for those of us far far away!

Fantastic blog post. Thank you for sharing the news on the Ceramics Annual of America. This year's event is going to be held October 18-20, 2013 at the Civic Center in San Francisco! It's the first time that location has been used for an art festival in over 2 decades. It should be a spectacular with hands on demos, discussions and tours. Also there will be an impressive variety of contemporary ceramics from around the globe. I hope you can make it. We are also taking submissions until July 1, 2013.
