“Essential Creatures” – A Nature-Inspired Pottery Show by Master Naturalist Eve Abrams

Please contact Eve Abrams directly with questions. [email protected]

On November 9th, from 6-9 pm, at Byrdie's Pottery (936 St. Roch Ave. NOLA 70117), join artist and Louisiana Master Naturalist Eve Abrams (Fall 2023) for the opening of her pottery show, "Essential Creatures."

This exhibition features intricate caterpillar sculptures and beautifully crafted plates and vases adorned with painted and carved caterpillars, moths, and butterflies. The artwork focuses on local species, especially those whose ecosystems depend on oak trees, a vital part of our region's ecology.

Through her art, Eve aims to inspire a greater appreciation for these often-overlooked creatures and encourage gallery visitors to protect and grow the native plants that these animals rely on for survival. The show invites us to recognize the importance of supporting our local ecosystems.

To enhance the experience, someone from a local native plant nursery will be present (with plants available!), a Master Naturalist will be available to talk about the animals featured in the pottery, and a selection of resource books will be on hand for those interested in learning more about how they can contribute to protecting our local wildlife.

Visitors can enjoy an evening of art, food, drinks, and meaningful conversations about our environment.
