The Tucson Clay Co-op is excited to announce the third annual
Poetry Message Bowl Project
A Community Poetry Reading
with Poet Laureate Ofelia Zepeda
The
Poetry Message Bowl Project is the synthesis of text and ceramics
drawing its inspiration from ancient Iranian message bowls, a
liturgical source, and a new way of viewing text. Many cultures
inscribed words on ceramics which they buried with their dead.
Archaeologists tell us that the ceramic pieces carried prayers, good
wishes for the deceased as well as poems and even memories. The Tucson
Clay Co-op invites poets and writers to participate by inscribing a
short poem, verse or excerpt on a ceramic bowl. The poems may be
original or just a favorite piece.
The
Tucson Clay Co-op will provide a variety of bowls. People interested in
the Project will come by the studio to decorate and inscribe their
chosen bowl with their poem.
Those unable to come to the co-op can feel free to send a poem or verse and=
it will be inscribed for you.
The Tucson Clay Co-op Clay Artists will be available to help participants t=
ransfer their poems to the bowls.
Bowls will be available at the
Tucson Clay Co-op
3326 N. Dodge Boulevard just n. of Ft. Lowell
