Davoust Ceramic Figure Thursday, July 22, 7 pm   
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.
