Lindsay Oesterritter at U of L this weekend!

It was so great to see Lindsay last night. She is truly one of the up and coming ceramic artists in the nation. The slides of China were beautiful. I especially liked the picture of the old saggars that had been stacked outside.

Lindsay showed her interpretation of this look and the results were just as stunning.

Lindsay is a former student of University of Louisville and has experienced some amazing travels to China and Australia, in the pursuit her growth as a ceramic artist. She Completed her MFA at Utah State University and is now an Assistant Professor at Western Kentucky University. There is a list to sign up for the potluck on the door going into the garage.
