This is Jeanne Collins home and ceramic studio. This is just one of the 13 studios on Ceramics Research Center ASU Art Museum Ceramic Studio Tour. Ying, a City of Phoenix intern who sits at our Wednesday morning meetings and I wanted to see Stephen Bunyard's work since we all work together on the City of Phoenix Center for the Arts Building Addition. I could have hooked up a trailer to my car and bought so much more.

Jeanne's property is quite wonderful with ceramic desert garden follies peeking around every cactus and boulder.
I invited Ying to tennis at 8:00am this Saturday morning. We followed it with a Windsor breakfast just north of Camelback on Central Avenue. After we couldn't eat anymore pancakes and huevos rancheros we headed to Jeanne Collins Studio for a ceramic tour. The Ceramic Studio Tour is hosted by ASU Art Museum and runs Saturday and Sunday, Feb 25 and 26 9am-5pm.

I could see this piece inside the entry of the Center for the Arts along the concrete steps. It could be mounted to a masonry wall vertically. Awesome! Could you see tea light candles inside this thing at night? OH MAMACITA!

The vessels by Kerrigan had these whimsical dancing figures painted in silver. I think I started a buzz when I bought the vertical vessel because his pieces started to fly off the table. I am biased since he is from Tucson. His work screams Barbara Kingsolver, cupie doll, and 4th Avenue weirdness.

These plant vessels are stunning. I would love to have about 15 of these slowly eroding in my landscape.

This is a treasure that I brought back home today. It is a complete representation of harsh desert plant life and soft clouds of the Arizona sky.
Creamy sculpted scales with threatening prickly metal spines. I am so happy he embedded those metal things into the clay. I love that the shape doesn't remind me of anything really. I tend to like more abstract art.

This original piece was made by Stephen Bunyard who is also one of the Project Managers for the Center for the Arts. I love this piece! I encourage Steve to do more of this. I bought this piece back in December at the Tree House studio in Phoenix. Since then my daughter has nicknamed it "Lippy". I had it on my makeup counter but it has graduated to the front entry niche.

The power of three. The two on the right are Bunyards work. The piece on the left is from Sedona by an unknown artist. It doesn't fill the niche vertically like I wish it would. I cropped off the empty top half of the niche. Let's see if Bunyard will make a taller lip vessel and that could all change!
