We are celebrating

All of Spring City, Utah is celebrating because 

Heritage Day is just around the corner. 

Every year, at the end of May, our little town celebrates Heritage Day.

Many of our historic homes are open to the public. 

So are the many Artist Studios. 

My studio will be open.

Everything from tiles to plates to bowls to murals will be for sale. 

And, as I have done every year, I will demonstrate the art of maiolica painting. 

 A method of painting, on tin glazed ceramic tiles,  which has not changed in the last 600 years. 

Why not join us?

I'm painting for a good cause

Every Year, at the end of May, Spring City celebrates

Heritage Days

See last year http://ginaceramics.blogspot.com/2010/05/celebration.html

Our entire town is open to visitors. Many historic homes are open to the public.

Visitors come from far and wide

I donate part of my proceeds to the Old School Renovation Fund

This year I have decided to keep things light and inexpensive

Small trays for dipping bread in olive oil,  bowls, plates...

practical things.

Each dish is hand painted and all have different designs, yet they are still very affordable

Of course, I will also be selling my signature tiles and large ornamental plates, bowls, urns  and platters

When I was last at the "Scuola d' Arte Ceramica" in Deruta Italy,

the most revered Maestro, Romano Ranieri,  spent the day with me, teaching me the finer points of Maiolica painting. 

Maestro Ranieri painted the fruit you see on the left.  He then handed me the plate with instructions to paint the same design to the right.  He was surprised that I didn't follow instructions to the "T".   Yet he smiled at me with approval.

And this is the work of Maestro Romano Ranieri

I will be visiting the Maestro and Professor Nicola Boccini this September.
