Local artist, Sheryl Sherwood, is Featured Artist at PAStA Art Gallery for the month of May.

She will be introducing her new series of pottery entitled "Ashes to Ashes" during First Friday Art Walk and throughout the month of May.

Sheryl's unique designs are hand-coiled and combine her love of scripture, work, and life experiences. From her experience of teaching visually impaired children, she uses natural and recyclable materials to make textures and carvings that allow their hands to "see" the art.

She uses a variety of firing methods, such as Raku, pit firing, and saggar firing to achieve interesting coloring on each piece.  Sheryl's goal is that every pottery piece remains in its most organic form while including movement, texture, and carvings for visual and tactile appeal.

Meet Sheryl at First Friday Art Walk, PAStA Art Gallery, 214 Charlotte Street, St. Augustine, in the Historic Art District, from 5-9 PM.  Refreshments served.  Always free.
