Amy Smith plates at Lincoln Berean Church

I saw these plates yesterday in Lincoln, Nebraska at the Berean Church. There wasn’t a tag for any of them, but I’m confident in saying that they were carefully crafted by one of my favorite ceramic artists (maybe my favorite potter), Amy Smith. I’m sharing the photos even though my cameraphone blew them out multiple times.

There is a glaze on the white plates, a fabulously delicate one with matte and crystaline qualities — from what I could tell where I stood anyway. The plates stood on a shelf over my head, out of the reach of church children racing through the hallway.
