My mother believes I am obsessed with food & cooking.  She finds it laughable that I have a bowl specific to whipping cream.  “Obsessed” is a strong word, possibly accurate, but definitely strong.  I do not own a single bowl to which I am well enough attached that I want to be buried with it like Mimbres bowls which have been found covering the face of the interred. Wear marks on the insides of those bowls show they were actually used for more than burial items.  That just makes me more respectful of my pottery bowls–lest it ends up covering my face for all of eternity.  Hmm. This next Call wants to see how YOU might be inspired by Mimbres potters.  This is a fascinating Call, and NOT restricted to clay media.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Silver City Arts for Neo-Mimbreño, an int’l juried show during the Silver City CLAY Festival.  And, it is NOT a clay-specific call.  Investigate further…
