THE MAD POTTERS' TEA PARTY

The potters of Tomé Gallery, mad or otherwise, are holding their annual pottery show at the gallery from May 3rd through May 17th, 2009. The opening reception tea for this year’s show is on Sunday May 3rd from 2 – 4, again in the delightful garden of Del Chavez, directly behind the gallery.

It will feature a sumptuous high tea with free refreshments such as strawberries and cream, scones, tea sandwiches and much more, while Belen guitarist Noe Lara provides a musical addition. This year we are also exhibiting a wonderful silent auction all day on May 3rd set up in the studio at the gallery. Our demonstrations of horsehair and raku firings as well as burnishing were so successful last year that we have given them their own special day on Saturday, May 9th from 10am -5pm. Added to the fun are numerous other demonstrations and hands-on experiences in clay. Ongoing from May 3rd -17th will is an excellent show of the work of our extraordinary clay artists. You will find many tea related items such as tea bowls, tea pots, tea bag holders, tea caddies, mugs, tea sets, sugar and creamers, plates, pitchers, and 3-tiered serving plates on display.

We are also expanding the scope of the show to include garden related items, such as fountains, planters, vases and ollas for irrigation. We have continued to carry an assortment of teas from The Republic of Tea, introduced last year complementing our tea theme.

Bring the whole family for an afternoon of genteel entertainment!
