Bouquets to Art is an “annual floral fundraiser [that] features a week of blossoms and bouquets inspired by artwork and architecture at the de Young.” I have been fortunate to be invited by a friend to participate in their exhibit for the past few years. Isabella of Florabella Studios wanted to incorporate ceramics into her display. It has been a pleasure and so much fun to work as part of the team to create displays for this event.

Here we go again! We’ve got the Matisse, which comes from a page in the book Jazz.

The pedestal is underway, I’ve started some vase type forms to be incorporated with the pedestal, and some tiles that have a more organic form than flat.

At this point, I’ve only three vases to contribute. It was a busy month with travel, a kiln that stopped working, and the end of year crunch at school. A bit of breakage in the last minute firing and now ready to cold finish. So I feel like today we put some color on them (there’s a saying about putting lipstick on a pig, no?) and see how the others carry the show.
