1st Ceramics Annual of America 2010

Caught a ride into San Fransisco with Bruce. The skyline is buried in fog and it's a lovely crisp 75 degrees.... mmmmmm nice... kind of set the tone for me.

The 1st Ceramics Annual of America was at Fort Masion. A vast enclosure on the Bay. Absolutely perfect to host a ceramics sculpture salon. The place was filled with so much beautiful works and so many amazed and delighted people. We were there for nearly 4 hours and had a mad ball of looking at works, meeting the artists, and meeting new faces.

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!
