Linda Carson's involvement with ceramics began in 1956 at a workshop conducted by Gertrude and Otto Natzler. She studied sculpture while raising her two children, but put her creative activities on hold to pursue a career as a psychotherapist. Children grown, Carson has rediscovered her passion for transforming clay into sculpture and jewelry design. The human foot, in many forms and colors, are central to many of the ceramic designs. Many of her creations have a humorous element to them. Linda will greet guests December 31st, 11 am - 2:30pm.

Irene Estrin's creations come from nature and it's textures and colors. Friends have accepted her obsession to scour the earth for texture to use in clay. Direct transfer of the textures are preferred and she uses the theme "Nature Inspired Texture by Land and Sea". Driftwood and feathers are often added for special effect. Estrin's uses the old pinch pot and Native American method using a puki and coil. Irene will greet guests December 19, 20, 26 from 11 am - 2:30 pm.

Gallery artists are from Ventura and Santa Barbara counties and including Ojai Valley.
