Security Blanket
The "SOS Security Blanket" is a community project and conceptual art piece made of petroleum based plastics. It is Mercedes' intention to combine fine art and domestic crafts to allow people to express their concerns about the Gulf oil spill, current energy policies, and to be part of the dialog about how we can work towards a more sustainable future. If you would like to create a piece for this project, please click here for more details.

Bring a friend and a bottle of wine. Relax and try your hand at pottery- no experience necessary. Everybody gets the chance to make at least one pot!
Sip and spin is a fun time to socialize and see if pottery is something you are really interested in.
Pottery is a multiple step project. You will create a piece or two during your first session. To complete the project you will need to sign up for another session to glaze your work. You can finish your piece by signing up for another Sip & Spin session, or by registering for Personalized Study in Clay.
Stop by the gallery or call 850-362-8041 to register.
