No Wheel Required
Patricia Davoust, art teacher and award winning ceramic
artist, demonstrates and discusses her use of the
ancient technique of pinching and stretching clay to
form pottery, with a distinctive modern approach. Her
hand-built (without the use of a potter's wheel) pottery
technique creates pieces with a rock-like texture that
are completely unique and individual. Davoust currently
is represented by
Water Street Studios Gallery in Batavia. |

Honor, Beauty, and Tradition
On his way to India, Christopher Columbus got lost and
“discovered” America, a continent called Turtle Island
by many of the 500 nations and 50 million people who
lived here already. Join us for a night of culture and
traditions filled with a stunning show-and-tell: objects
of art and ancient artifacts by the First Americans—the
other Indians, most of whom called themselves “The
People.” Presenter Ann Leslie is a stained glass artist
and manages the River Trading Post, a Native American
gallery, in East Dundee. She is adopted Lakota and
Cherokee, and a Pipe Keeper.
