UPCOMING EVENTS
Art Exhibit in the Chur Gallery - Roycroft Master Artisan Mary Pratt
Mary Pratt’s inspiration originates from the natural world of her everyday surroundings in her hometown of Lake Geneva, WI. An ongoing fascination with botanical drawing, scientific depiction of insects, and meticulous medical illustrations has dramatically altered Pratt’s approach to handling clay.
Creating discriminating, sensitive, artful pottery fulfills and satisfies her creative needs on all levels. Releasing her concentrated life energy in this joyful way in turn strengthens others.
The exhibit will run from April 27th – June 29th, 2018. For further information, call 716-655-0261
