A site 2 see friday – Access Ceramics


“access Ceramics is a growing collection of contemporary ceramics images by recognized artists enhancing ceramics education worldwide.”
There you will find gorgeous work, and …well …more gorgeous work. Likely more than you can realistically get through in a morning, so good thing it’s friday : )
I loved these cups by Eric Rempe so much I couldn’t chose which one i loved more, so you get to see both.
Have a great weekend.
