SPECIAL OFFER:
Limited Edition Fragments Series Work
To assist in funding programming at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, we are producing a series of limited edition works, created using Beatrice Wood's molds and glaze recipes, produced in her studio and fired in her kiln.
 The most recent of these "Fragments Series" works is shown. This design is best known by visitors to the Center for its use in the Throne of Beato 102, a permanent installation created by her friend Gail Cottman to celebrate the artist's 102nd birthday. Created using one of the artist's signature luster glazes, it is being produced in an edition of 100. The ceramic measures 7" h x 7" dia and is presented in a wood frame measuring 13" x 13". The retail price for this edition is $750., but for a limited time we are offering it to those on our mailing list for only $450., postpaid.
Contact us if you are interested in taking advantage of this special offer.

"There are three things important in life:
Honesty, which means living free of the cunning of the mind
Compassion, because if we have no concern for others, we are monsters
Curiosity, for if the mind is not searching it is dull and unresponsive."
