Kala Stein, Amy Hamley, and Kristina Nobleman.

November 8 - December 8, 2024

Three artists focus on material exploration, drawing inspiration from patterns and textures of the natural world while pushing traditional approaches to their mediums. Grounded in process, each of their work strikes a dynamic balance between cultivated refinement and bold experimentation.

A solo exhibition of ceramics by Kala Stein mapping themes of climate and place through experimental design, fire, and flux studies. Exploring motifs of water, fragility, and changing landscapes through vessels and wall art, Stein considers the ceramic process a metaphor for geologic and climate change. She uses the kiln to simulate geologic transformation including cracking, melting, flow and fluxing. Stein explores the wonder of ceramic material, the love of being near water, and laments negative impacts of the Anthropocene Epoch. By leveraging the inherent fragility of ceramics, a theme emerges that contemplates the sublime, being and loss within the context of climate change in Northern California.

“Chapters” as Markers of Change
Life is change. It’s during the times of greatest change that we actually notice change –moving from one “chapter” to the next. In these works I try to express not only the continuum of “chapters” but also capture that time of change between the chapters –the transition, the moments in transformation. –Sandy  “Chapters” features Altered Books, Glass and Pages Made of Porcelain.

Quench: Things For and About Water is a culmination of ceramic work by Kala Stein. The exhibition explores motifs of water, fragility, and changing landscapes through vessels, wall work, and experimental design. Stein considers the ceramic process a metaphor for geologic and climate change and uses the kiln to simulate geologic transformation. Cracking, melting, and fusing photographic imagery, earthen material and metallic glaze, she explores the wonder of ceramic material, the love of being near water, and laments the depletion of natural resources. By leveraging the inherent fragility of ceramics, a theme emerges that contemplates beauty, value and loss within the context of climate change in Northern California.

Carolyn Harper

February 6-16, 2025

Carolyn layers moments of tension and softness into the heart of her narrative. Through texture, form, and a quiet, nuanced palette, her work becomes a place of reflection — an invitation to pause, feel, and return to a sense of embodied stillness. 

A tranquil undertone weaves through each piece- with a gentle heartbeat that whispers calmness, even in the most challenging conditions.

This exhibition marked the launch of the publication of her 2023 wall calendar: “Seasonal Fantasies - Costume Art by Margaret Hatcher."

Hatcher displayed pieces of the original costumes along side framed prints representing each month of the year. Pictured here is "The Weeping Willow” representing the month of August.

May 17-May 26. We are Vida Nueva, a cooperative of Zapotec women preserving Indigenous weaving traditions while advocating for gender equality, sustainability, and community resilience. Using natural fibers and dyes, our work embodies ancestral techniques while addressing contemporary issues of social justice and environmental stewardship.

Paintings by Arminee Chahbazian and works on paper by Claudia Tennyson

September 6 - 22, 2025

Both artists develop a quiet tension in their work by presenting images of stillness on the verge of movement. Compelled by a primary obsession with natural phenomena, they create a conversation that speaks to and honors Earth’s regenerative power.

Artist panel on September 11 at 6 pm, moderated by curator and art consultant Chandra Cerrito.
