Art Themed Silent Auction

This year's art-themed silent auction will be one for the intergalactic record books. We have some incredible artists generously give to our 2024 Dinner & Auction. On the evening of the event, all artwork will be on display, and bids will be written (silently) for each piece by attendees (you). As we receive pieces, they will be featured here, along with a link to the artist's chosen profile. Values are merely a guide - art is worth what the eye of the beholder is willing to bid. 

METAMORPHOSIS

Donated by: Ethan Lowry

The crackle pattern on the piece he donated is made by mixing sodium silicate with a porcelain slip on a manganese rich clay body. The slip is applied to the surface of the clay while it's still on the wheel. The exterior is dried, and then the piece is shaped from the inside. As the form expands the superficial white slip cracks, revealing the dark clay underneath.
