15 sculptures from Atis Rezistans artists Racine Polycarpe and Claudel Casseus were on display at Burning Man thanks to our partnership with Burners without Borders and the lovely Carmen Mauk. BWB promotes activities around the globe that support a community’s inherent capacity to thrive by encouraging innovative approaches to disaster relief and grassroots initiatives that make a positive impact. Hope that all of you out on the playa got a chance to check them out. If you missed the opportunity, don’t worry they will also be exhibited (complete with playa dust!) at our annual donor dinner on Sept 14th. Tickets are available here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/431159

In 2014, Master Ceramicist Jenni Ward will launch a native soils pottery program in Haiti.
In the meantime she is teaching our Visiting Haitian Artists about firing, glazing and working with clay.
I was mesmerized with a few of her smaller sculptures last Saturday in the waning evening light. They sat on a shelf in front of a very old terra cotta pot and each of the sculptures had a symbiotic air plant tucked into a crevice.
