Solo Exhibition Oct 8th Brooklyn NY!
Hello everyone!
I'm having a solo exhibition opening next week!
Hope you can come to the opening reception.
This is the first time showing mostly my ceramic work in NY.
I have been very lucky finding very good ceramic studios to work in NY, the series I will show this time are mostly the work I made at Brick House Ceramic Art Center in LIC. (And I will have some work from Greenwich House Pottery) It was a challenging to get use to new clay and glaze but with many people's help at Brick House, I was able to complete this series which I'm very happy with. Very big thank you to Brick House.
I hope you can come and see the show!
