If you're ever in the Fresno, California area, I would highly suggest heading over to Duncan Ceramic Products (now known as iLoveToCreate) on the 5600 block of East Shields Ave to feast your eyes on the collection of ceramic sculptures and wall reliefs that line their headquarter's frontage. The monumental sized pieces were created by California sculptor and ceramist Stan Bitters in 1969. (Click pictures for a closer look).

Amazing reliefs and in the best shape for their age, wich is exactly mine. After all, we are products of 1969, the year of love.
I'm a great admirer of your blog, that I have been following for a long time.
I also have a blog about modernist ceramics in Portugal, if you care to take a look:

Keep the lovely job.

Beautiful! Just the scale of them is truly great. Makes me want to fire up my kiln!
Those are so wonderful and while in Fresno check out the sublime mosaic mural on the front of the airport building.
