"Tale of a Family" 

July 9 - July 30

 

  

Opening reception: Saturday July 9th, 5-8pm

 

 

Two years ago Etsuko had a conversation with her father about showing his ceramic work in the Pacific Northwest.  An idea was born to exhibit their work as father, mother and daughter.  What better way to visually share the thread that binds this family together.
