Clearly Black & White (Tierra Solida) (Santa Barbara, CA, USA)

This is a newly-discovered clay art gallery that I reached while
searching for Sandra Torres, whose name I picked up from the
International Ceramics Studio, Kecskem=E9t, Hungary web site:
maintained by Steve Mattison
of the UK. I knew of the Hungarian site, but was returning to it
because I found, while visiting a page on Graham Hay's site
that the city's name can
also be spelt "Keeskemet." While revisiting the ICS pages, I found a
reference to Torres, so I set out to find a sample of her work online.
That's when I found out about Tierra Solida...

gallery, "Clearly Black & White", juried by Michael Arntz: Karin
