Hello,
I would check out the Northwest Craft center in Seattle Center and Pottery
Northwest on the South East corner of the Seattle Center on 1st Ave (I
think). At the Seattle Center the Roman exhibit from the Louvre just
opened. The Seattle Asian Art Museum has a pretty good collection of pots,
but they think that pottery is just a craft and don't show much of their
collection at one time. Kobo at Higo on Jackson in the International
District usually has a ceramic exhibit as well as some interesting things.

In Tacoma about 40 to 60 minutes South the Museum of Glass is pretty good,
the hot shop is working everyday.

I loved seeing the bonsai at Weyerhaeuser in Tacoma, and the ceramic bonsai
holders were interesting.

If you are venturing outside of Seattle check-out Kirkland Arts Center in
Kirkland...also a good place to find something to eat and drink.

Bonnie,
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't have as much time as I expected in
Seattle, but I'll save your tip for the next visit. I now have
step-children there and will be visiting often.

We met when I visited your studio in Ouray. I was on my way to Anderson
Ranch. I have since remarried after being a widow for seven years...to a
CPA.....never have to do taxes again . Yahoo!!!
