Artists Ann Austin & Dianne McDermott @ PPP for June ’23!
Pottery Place Plus is pleased to present Spokane mixed media artist Ann Austin and Liberty Lake fiber artist Dianne McDermott as our guest artists in June ’23.
Ann uses the found beauty and repeating patterns of the natural world in her collage and mixed media, overlaying and combining colors & patterns in the manner of a puzzle coming into focus with each new piece. She incorporates found images and papers, and also her own monoprints and photos, resulting in a visual and emotional experience that brings a moment of joyful surprise.
Dianne uses her art background as an illustrator and graphic artist in designing her backpacks, purses & bags. She often researches designer fabrics to compile a theme, then adds beadwork and embroidery to the uniqueness of each creation.
Stop by our shop & gallery this June to view the work of Ann Austin & Dianne McDermott ~ we are located in the Historic Liberty Building at 203 N. Washington St in downtown Spokane.

Stepwell
We are thrilled to announce Stepwell, a sculpture by J. Meejin Yoon of Höweler + Yoon, located in Riverfront Park, north of the Providence Playscape is now open to the public! Stepwell is an interactive sculpture that uses a renewable resource (mass timber) as its primary material. Comprised of 68 individual pieces, each hand-carved and machined, all precisely engineered to fit together like a puzzle, Stepwell explores a new, more climate-conscious way to think about our built environment. Stepwell will invite the community to sit, climb, and enjoy the unique space it creates within the park. Visitors will move through the interior of the sculpture via an ADA pathway or climb its steps to experience an elevated view of the Spokane River.

The Root Experience Festival
The Root Experience is a 2-night festival featuring BIPOC talent from various cultures and disciplines. The festival celebrates regional filmmakers, artists, culture bearers, musicians, and the stories they weave through their art. The goal is to uplift their narratives of culture, family, beauty, and resilience to create a network that empowers living stories and heals elements of the past and present. When talking about indigenous cultures, we must recognize the borders (state & continental) that have been placed by the act of colonization. In doing so, people of the same/ similar cultures have had their homelands divided and people they love placed on opposite sides of these borders. The Root Experience is hoping to help erase these borders by decolonizing art and social practice, providing safe and inclusive spaces to present, while connecting, partnering, and sparking conversation with our communities in the Pacific Northwest (defined as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Alberta (CAN), and British Columbia (CAN)).
