Velocity Art and Design Celebrates the Holiday Sea
Potter-Extraordinaire Jonathan Adler
Velocity Art and Design Celebrates the Holiday Season With Potter-Extraordinaire Jonathan Adler
To celebrate the holiday season Velocity Art and Design is bringing New
York City-based potter-extraordinaire Jonathan Adler to Seattle for the first
time. At the event, which is open to the public, Velocity will premiere
Adler's new 2005 collection, as well as hard-to-find limited edition pieces
and his hand thrown "couture" line. This event marks the first in a series of
national designer events hosted locally by Velocity in the coming months.
A drawing will be held at the event for a limited edition vase, signed and
numbered by Jonathan Adler, and valued at more than $300. One need not be
present to win. Holiday cheer will be provided by Bombay Sapphire. Detailed
information about this event is also posted on Velocity's Website.
WHEN/WHERE:
Wednesday, December 8, 2004
6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Velocity Art and Design
2118 Second Avenue (between Blanchard and Lenora in Belltown)
Seattle, WA 98121

WHY:
As a living icon of modern design, Jonathan Adler's work is at the
forefront of style. Adler's best-known accomplishment is reviving the
decorative arts in this decade. His unconventional approach to ceramics has
single-handedly taken pottery from hippie to hip. Jonathan Adler's chic,
groovy lifestyle collection has expanded to include not only ceramics, but
also pillows, rugs, lighting, dinnerware, handbags, and furniture. By merging
organic shapes, geometric patterns, and sensuous textures with a witty sense
of humor, Jonathan Adler has achieved an innately chic style that is at once
timeless and of-the-moment.
