Traditionally, the “boneyard” refers to bisque works and how they are stored in studio spaces for teaching and ceramics demonstrations. It’s known for its unique display on high shelves in the studio, with many bisque works together, showcasing a variety of techniques, improvisation, and skill. This vertical boneyard is a collection of misfired or damaged works that were left behind and then repurposed for this outdoor public art installation.
