Harriete Estel Berman
August 28–October 28, 2008
First Thursday opening September 4, 5–8 PM

Harriete Estel Berman crafts objects using reclaimed, printed tin containers as raw material for these contextually rich masterpieces. Questioning societal traditions and norms, women’s roles and consumerism, she comments through pieces as varied as teapots and earrings.

OCTOBER / NOVEMBER FEATURE

Thomas Orr
October 2–November 2, 2008
First Thursday opening: October 2, 5–8 PM
Thomas Orr, ceramics department head at the Oregon College of Art and Craft, presents a new series of sculptural ceramic forms.
