Shawn O'Connor shows "Daily Conversations" in Atlanta

Shawn O'Connor's gorgeous wood fired pottery is now on display at Mudfire Gallery in Atlanta. His solo show, "Daily Conversations" opens today. You have to hold Shawn's pieces in your hands to fully experience their silky smoothness, but if you can't get to Atlanta, you can catch a glimpse of their beauty online here. Shawn was a 2010-2011 Arrowmont Resident Artist. Congratulations Shawn!
