With world affairs continuing to remain chaotic, the curators behind Lapis Room decided to tone it down with its last group show of the year. The crew at Lapis Room spent months letting the ideas grow and when it came to cultivating, it fell together organically.

Sparkling, Functional Micaceous Pottery by Anna Cardenas ✨🫑🧅🧄🥕✨

Foods cooked in micaceous clay pots take on smoky flavour, making slow cooked meats particularly mouthwatering. Preparing micaceous clay for cooking vessel is careful and laborious process, but well worth it, especially after tasting the food cooked inside a micaceous pot. Anna digs the clay in the mountains, clears out any stones and twigs, soaks the clay in a vat of water, digs out any remaining twigs, and when the clay starts drying it. In her Galisteo studio, Anna begins her pots as a tortilla shaped circle, which she places in a puki, a round plate set on a turntable. Adding coils of micaceous clay, she builds her pots, until they are ready to be scored and smoothed with wet calf skin or leather and let dry for a week. She sands her pots first with a pumice rock she collected in the mountains, and burnishes them with a river rock before firing them in her Kiva fireplace.

Love is Owl ya need. 🦉 TCH at Lapis Room!

Lapis Room is a vibrant art gallery dedicated to providing thought-provoking and beautiful works of art to the Albuquerque Old Town district. The Gallery was created to elevate a diverse selection of artists that are truly representative of Southwest contemporary culture. We seek to offer a multi-sensory experience with themes of connection, impermanence, and the beauty behind the ever-complicated human spirit.

Adding to the rich experience, Lapis Room is connected to Noisy Water Winery’s Old Town Tasting Room. Enjoy a glass of wine or cider while being immersed in Southwest art. We also offer a unique selection of fine jewelry, flora-rich apothecary, vintage, and handmade goods.
