I wanted to post this slide show last night, but we had a sushi-making dinner party here and by the time it was over I was too tired to post! However, it looks like you enjoyed Sunday’s bonus post – thank you for such uplifting comments and feedback – humbling indeed.

As part of my internship at Flux Studios, Novie Trump took me on a field trip to Georgetown see a solo show featuring friend and fellow ceramic artist Tamara Laird at Cross Mackenzie Ceramic Arts. The large sculptures, some with metallic glazes that looked like metal, fed my incessant need for swirls, and curves.
{NOTE: Watch the slideshow in full screen mode for the best effect – and to see the captions.}
I don’t know which was more delightful, the whimsical forms or getting to know Tamara over lunch. The sculptures seemed to be gesturing to us sweetly in some unfamiliar language. Full of people personality, I was waiting for them to jump off their pedestals and dance me around the room.
Read a very informative article about the artist, her worldwide travels and how living abroad for several years continues to impact her work today.

Tamara’s website is under construction, but she assures me it will be up soon. When it is live, do check it – not only for her sculpture – but for her ceramic pod jewelry as well. I saw the pods and they are spectacular. Coming soon. . .
Thanks Novie and Tamara – it was a great day!
Thanks for sharing! Tamara is also an instructor in ceramics at the Corcoran College of Art & Design where I was able to take a course with her last semester. Great class and wonderful instructor!
