Cara Gilbert's contemporary ceramic vessels punctuate any decor. Cara works with white stoneware and silky porcelain as the foundation for her individually crafted functional and decorative pieces. Surface designs feature graphic pattrening and the interplay of color and texture. Inspiration for her work is rooted in her abiding and eclectic interest in Japanes aesthetics, Russian Avant-Garde textiles, and the Bauhaus and the Arts and Crafts movements. The spirit that drives Cara's creations comes from the belief that living with/seeing/touching daily at least one handmade treasured object is indispensably enriching.
