We are very excited to introduce a talented ceramics master who has opened a stunning gallery in downtown Boulder Creek. Rockford Gallery Contemporary Ceramics is located on Forest Street. In this serene and calm space, Rocky Lewycky explained his newest exhibit “Instruments of Consciousness”. He made a series of ceramic pieces hanging from the wall, using unfired clay that is strengthened via nylon rope fibers. The pieces help to suggest taking a moment of consciousness, and were highlighted by photographs of seniors drinking from glasses. The glasses, which Rocky creates in his studio, have a small hole on the side. If you do not hold the glass with intention, you will spill on yourself, a tool you can use to practice your own awareness. In his magical garden space behind the studio, you can find tomatoes growing and some unique pieces which partially took form in the kiln. They were designed to move and change during the firing process. Rocky has an impressive background, including teaching positions at the University of South Carolina, Institute of American Indian Arts (I.A.I.A.), the Santa Fe Community College, Foothill College, Monterey Peninsula College, and De Anza College where he is currently head of ceramics. His gallery is open Fridays and Saturdays from noon til 7, or by appointment. He’s quite fun to chat with and you’ll certainly enjoy your visit. We are very impressed with his creations and would recommend you stop in often, as he changes his offerings each month.
6-7:30 pm, hosted by Liberty Bank. All are welcome to attend.
