What a wonderful place this is! La Dona Cerveceria’s Grand Opening.

 

 

    

What a blast we had Saturday at La Dona Cerveceria’s Grand Opening, and the unveiling of my sculpture! Thanks so much to everyone for coming out and celebrating this big event with me! The place was humming with good music, good beer and food, and good vibrations. And La Dona looked gorgeous and happy in her new home! If you’re looking to spend a wonderful evening surrounded by bright colors, multicultural music, art, and not too mention wonderfully tasty  cerveza on tab, you should absolutely check out La Dona Cerveceria!

The making of La Dona

My heart rate still rises slightly looking at these pictures! It was a lot of fun to build La Dona, but so hard and nerve wrecking at times and physically very demanding. Very happy and grateful that the clay gods were smiling on me 😊

               

 

 

 

Meet La Dona! Grand Opening of La Dona Cerveceria and sculpture unveiling this Saturday, Oct 20!

     

Drumroll please! This Day of the Dead sculpture that I have been working on, in secrecy, for the last 4 months, was installed today, La Doña Cervecería . When Sergio Manancero, one of the owners, contacted me about this commission in May, I thought „This is almost to cool to be true“. But true it was, it all worked out miraculously, and here she is, looking gorgeous. Thank you SO MUCH, Ina and my dear husband, for all your help, support and advice! This has been a 5 month journey for me and the excellent people of La Dona Cerverceria that entrusted me with this project. I’ve never built, glazed, fired or installed anything this large – much was learned 😊. Thanks so much also to Mark J Lusardi from Continental Clay for all your invaluable advice and support. Couldn’t have done it without any of you! — with Marc Coleman at La Doña Cerveceria.
So please join me this Saturday, Oct 20, to celebrate La Dona and the opening of Minnesota’s first Latino owned brewery! I will say a few words about my piece at 5:30 pm, so if you want to be present for that, make sure and don’t be late!
