The Bleecker Coop Memorial Project features several custom fabrication processes including handmade tiles produced in Bleecker Coop's own ceramics studio: Studio 85 founded by ceramic artist Henry Campos.
Henry led the first of two ceramics workshops (January 17 and 30) with more than 10 coop members. It seems appropriate that contributors are producing two special elements of the artwork -- the Great Bear and the blue orbs, which are an abstracted representation of the Great Bear constellation, most commonly known as Ursa Major.
