What We’re Up To

Open

We find ourselves in heavy hearts to hear of the passing of the brilliant and inspiring ceramicist and sculptor Kari Marboe (1985-2022). Kari was a great advocate and supporter of The David Ireland House. We had a mutual admiration in the light and sanctuary that is found in this House and the work of David Ireland. She has a letter and artwork for David Ireland printed with the soil from our then-basement which has been placed in our back parlor room for this current exhibition. Thank you Kari for inspiring us, the playful focus on material, perspectives in pushing the boundaries of sculpture and your nurturing and collaborative relationships to the artist community of the Bay Area and your many students at @cca_ceramics. We will miss you. Our hearts go out to Kari’s family, colleagues and students.

We are happy to announce a second weekend of HOME (in) STEAD, July 1- 3rd 2022!
