Crusties are a must-ys.

The work of Christy Wittmer

Enjoyed seeing work at the CAC last weekend.  They were showing graduate work 

from the University of Cincinnati.  I especially enjoyed the works by

Christy Wittmer.

Eddie Curtis and Margaret Curtis

Really enjoying this ceramics lately of

Eddie Curtis and Margaret Curtis

 The top piece is by Eddie Curtis and the bottom is by Margaret Curtis.

They are currently showing New Forms, New Textures at the

Contemporary Ceramics Centre in London.

Ceramics, Metal and Glass

More from the Cincinnati Art Museum.

 Both of the above pieces are from Iran.  I saw many blue lions in the Iran Art section.

Lions represented royalty and strength and are oftentimes depicted with the sun.

I am still researching the blue lion to see what significance the color plays, if any.

 The two above images are Chinese glass bowls.  I was drawn to the

creamy colors.  They also reminded me of FireKing ceramics

and 1960's Tupperware (see below).

Tupperware

This contemporary ceramic piece is my current favorite.

Taft Art Museum

Yesterday we went to the Taft Art Museum 

Funny, because whenever I hear William Taft

I think of him stuck in a bathtub.

The museum had an extremely nice asian

collection, mostly ceramics.

 All the fu dogs reminded me of my shih tzu, Ebe.

The museum also had great carpets.

I should have taken pictures.
