Since 1981 I have been creating works of art in my studio in the Greek countryside and teaching pottery at the American Farm School in Thessaloniki. In 2015 I completed a Masters Course at the International Hellenic University.<br \/>\nFor the SuppArting Project in NYC I chose to make a series of clay boxes enhanced with terra sigillata and burnished by hand. Each box is fired with smoke from sawdust and chicken manure which gives a shiny black finish. In contrast, inside the box is a ceramic wreath, inspired by the gold diadem discovered in Vergina in the tomb of Philip of Macedon.<br \/>\nChristine has participated in many individual and group exhibits including:<br \/>\n1980 Smith Gallery, Santa Cruz, California 1985 The American Center, Mitropoulou 82, Thessaloniki 2000 Pan Hellenic Exhibit in Maroussi<br \/>\n2001 Anetopoulos Pottery Museum, Volos<br \/>\n2004 Mt.Athos Exhibition, Vienna,Austria<br \/>\n2009 Loutra Paradisos old Turkish Baths of Thessaloniki<br \/>\n2010 Exhibition in the New York Design Center, Tucker Robbins Gallery<\/p>\n<p>www.slowlivinggreece.com<br \/>\nclwillis1955@gmail.com<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slowlivinggreece.com\">www.slowlivinggreece.com<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Christine-Willis_wreath.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409\" src=\"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Christine-Willis_wreath.jpg\" alt=\"Christine-Willis_wreath\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Christine-Willis_wreath.jpg 1500w, http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Christine-Willis_wreath-200x133.jpg 200w, http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Christine-Willis_wreath-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was born and raised in Greece, trained by a&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"template-full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-230","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=230"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":467,"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/230\/revisions\/467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/suppartingstudents.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
