SUMMARY:Show of Hands Art Exhibition at Heath Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:Show of Hands Artist Showcase\nPresented by Heath Ceramics \nHeath Ceramics is excited to announce Show of Hands\, a showcase of new works curated by Clay Studio Director Tung Chiang. As part of Heath’s month-long Design Made Good celebration\, this event highlights a range of artists whose work explores new possibilities in material\, process\, and perspective. \nHosted within Heath San Francisco’s intimate gallery space\, Show of Hands offers a unique opportunity to embrace unfamiliar experiences and outlooks; to see and feel how a group of groundbreaking artists interpret\, navigate\, and ultimately shape the world around them by hand. \nEngage with artists at different points in their journey—some just starting out\, others evolving their practice—each bringing something new through clay\, paint\, textiles\, metal\, and more. Despite their varied backgrounds\, all share a commitment to making by hand and a respect for the traditions that inform their work. \n  \nMeet the Featured Artists\n\nAyano Shioya\nBrendan Monroe\nBrian Madden\nMax Frommeld\nRafi Ajl\nSarah Wertzberger\n\n  \nCurated by Tung Chiang\n\nSince 2013\, Tung Chiang has led the Heath Clay Studio\, a small team of artisans who push the field of ceramics forward through experimentation with form\, glaze\, and technique. With a background in graphic and industrial design—and a lifelong passion for craft—Tung’s practice is rooted in observation\, discovery\, and a belief in the quiet power of objects that speak for themselves. \nTung took a deeply personal approach to curating Show of Hands\, hand-selecting a diverse group of artists who—across a range of backgrounds and disciplines—challenge convention and offer a refreshing perspective on craft. His curation reflects a blend of creative curiosity\, thoughtful execution\, and a dedication to uplifting new and exciting artistic voices. \n  \nExhibition Details\nJune 6–22\, 2025\nHeath Showroom Gallery\, 2900 18th Street\, San Francisco \nMonday–Friday 10am–6pm\nSaturday–Sunday 10am–5pm \nOpening Night Reception\nThursday\, June 5 · 5–7pm\nJoin the artists and the Heath team for an evening of art\, conversation\, and community.  \n  \nAdditional events for Design Made Good Month\nThe Good Flea: A curated vintage market\nJune 14 & 15 \nAs part of Heath’s month-long Design Made Good celebration\, The Good Flea complements the Show of Hands artist showcase by bridging the gap between design’s past and present—and building excitement for what’s on the horizon. \nThe Good Flea is Heath’s take on a classic flea market\, offering visitors a chance to shop a wide selection of rare and interesting antiques pulled from the private collections of expert curators\, vendors\, and creative leaders. This group—assembled by Clay Studio Director Tung Chiang—will bring not only hand-chosen vintage finds\, but also a deep well of knowledge on design and craft history. \nHosted within Heath’s SF tile factory\, The Good Flea showcases objects that span eras and styles—including some special finds from Heath’s archive! Enthusiasts\, collectors\, and connoisseurs are invited to discover unique\, curated vintage pieces in an energetic\, community-driven space. \nThe Good Flea is not just a market—it’s an opportunity to discover and connect with design history. Don’t miss the chance to explore rare finds and meet the experts behind them! \n

SUMMARY:ERICA TANOV: The Fine Art of Collaboration — The dynamics of successful creative partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Join clothing & lifestyle designer ERICA TANOV\, and her collaborators for a lively conversation and visual presentation\, moderated by acclaimed design writer DIANE DORRANS SAEKS. They will explore the art of creative collaboration for home design and fashion collections. In addition to Tanov\, panelists include three talented creative women: interior designer ELENA DENDIBERIA\, co-founder of Studio Ahead; textile artist AMY KEEFER\, the ‘Beyond Trend’ Coordinator and Textiles Studio Lead of Creative Growth  and artist EMILY PAYNE. \nERICA TANOV is a woman-owned company led by its namesake founder\, which recently celebrated 30 years in business. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Erica Tanov is a designer of clothing and homeware collections.  Working with the finest luxurious fabrics and materials\, embracing meticulous construction and subtle detailing\, the designer is always drawn to a raw\, natural beauty. Erica Tanov collections are available at the designer’s Berkeley retail boutique\, and now also at her new Berkeley studio\, a carefully curated space\, which showcases the full breadth of her own designs\, including wallpaper\, architectural tiles\, furniture\, bedding\, and fabric collections\, as well as vintage ‘finds’ (furniture\, jewelry\, & accessories). Instagram: @ericatanov \nDIANE DORRANS SAEKS is the bestselling author of twenty-five design books\, including “Parisian By Design”\,  “Jean-Louis Denior Interiors”\,  and “Michael S. Smith: Elements of Style”. She was a founding editor of Metropolitan Home and Garden Design magazines. DORRANS SAEKS is interior design editor for PaperCity and an editor with C MAGAZINE. She has long-standing creative relationships with leading California and international designers. She has a large following on her Instagram: @dianedorranssaeks \nELENA DENDIBERIA is co-founder of interior design studio Studio Ahead where she leads creative work\, focusing on custom details. She is an internationally exhibited artist with a sensual approach to art and design. Elena brings together the tactile experience of her art practice with a design narrative that evolves through close collaboration with artists\, craftspeople\, and fabricators. Instagram: @studioahead \nTextile artist AMY KEEFER\, the ‘Beyond Trend’ Coordinator and Textiles Studio Lead of Creative Growth\, explores the intersection of art and apparel\, viewing clothing as an extension of oneself and a medium through which personal histories and allegiances are revealed. She holds an MFA from California College of the Arts. An advocate for wearable art in all forms\, Keefer joined Creative Growth\, a pioneering non-profit organization dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities\, in 2016. Since then\, Creative Growth’s annual runway show has expanded into a generative fashion department within the studio\, partnering with important artists\, brands and designers across the country. Founded in 1974 in Oakland\, California by Elias Katz and Florence Ludins-Katz\, the organization was established with a mission to utilize art as a primary means for individuals with disabilities to express themselves  within a safe and nurturing community and gain professional gallery exposure. Creative Growth operates as both studio and gallery that not only showcases the works of its 140+ artists but actively promotes their inclusion into major collections and institutions globally\, such as MoMA\, the Smithsonian and the recent historic acquisition by SFMoMA. Sales from the gallery directly fund artist support and studio operations\, helping to sustain and expand this vibrant creative community. @creativegrowth \nEMILY PAYNE grew up in Mill Valley\, Calif.\, and Amherst\, Mass. She received her B.A. from Oberlin College in Ohio and her M.F.A. in Printmaking and Book Arts from San Francisco State University in 1999.
