Dick Lehman artwork to kick off 2014 auction

A pitcher by ceramic artist Dick Lehman will be the first item in the 2014 Oregon Mennonite Festival for World Relief auction, reflecting this year’s emphasis on water.

The internationally-recognized Mennonite artist from Elkhart, Indiana, has worked with clay for more than three decades, showing his work in galleries across the nation, presenting workshops worldwide, and writing for international ceramics publications. His studio was located for many years at The Old Bag Factory in Goshen, where he remains a “permanent visiting artist.”

Dick personally donated this pitcher for our auction, to help make life better for others through the work of Mennonite Central Committee. Will you be the one to take home this one-of-a-kind treasure?

Thank you, Dick, for your generosity!
