.~Villareal Ceramics.~

Villareal Ceramics is on her way to Tucson Arizona this summer, but she is taking the time to donate this beautiful bird box to our Heart at Work Auction! She is a graduate from the Oregon College of Art & Craft and I was an artist in residence at the Mendocino art center in California.
Her work centers around themes of home and comfort, escape and longings. She says that roses, houses, ladders and birds help symbolize these feelings.
Each piece is made with slabs of clay and then folded and cut to create different forms. The surface of each piece contains many textures from my tools or from my fingertips, Each piece is made to have a unique personality or story.

Thank-you so much for donating!
