Sunday the Carolina Clay Matters Guild met at the new Mint Museum for a nice tour lead by Verna Witt. The new Mint is a wonderful space with lots of galleries, a huge atrium, and a very nice flow. If you are in the area, make it a destination.
Afterward, Kim and I went back to the green to view the sculptures there.
Another in a long line of good days.

This collar is carved from one piece of marble!
This is a ship's hull cast in glass.
These fabric squares were died from plant materials from NC.
what a great museum and tour. I went during the grand opening and the crowds were thick, hope to go back one of these days. I love the city scapes in Charlotte.
Great new place for Charl. I remember the Craven Ceramics, very beautiiful. I have several small pieces of hers...one little pot with lid that the cat knocked down and broke...keep the remains (of the pot) for inspiration anyway. Saw the outdoor exhibit last Sunday. I loved being inside the skull, too bad Ellaine was not with you.
Linda- Thanks! Unfortunately I was out of town and missed the opening. This was my first trip.
Max- I will be back to visit the skull again before it leaves town. Elaine was there with Caroline and I on Saturday. Her comment was "Public art ROCKS!". I quite agree.
