About

If your understanding of ceramics is limited to what you learned in your high school pottery class, then this gallery will prove a real eye-opener. What you'll discover is that ceramic-making isn't just a traditional and functional craft, it's a lively, vibrant and diverse discipline of fine art.

Frank Lloyd, who obviously cares deeply about his niche, represents two dozen preeminent American artists. Most are Californians, and until recently, they ranged in age from 25 to 105 years old. The centenarian, Beatrice Wood, died in 1998. She spent years producing charming, clunky, luster-glazed pieces. Other notables include Adrian Saxe's tongue-in-cheek stuff; Roseline Delisle's sleek black-and-white postmodern pots; and John Mason's twisting, towering sculptures that look like anything but clay.

Visiting

The gallery is located in space B5B of Santa Monica's Bergamot Station, an eight-acre complex that houses more than 30 of the city's most prominent arts institutions. Bergamot Station is located at 2525 Michigan Ave., which is at the very end of the street. Hours of operation are Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (Some galleries have slightly different hours, so be sure to call ahead.) Free parking is available for all visitors; just follow the signs.

Dining and entertainment

For a convenient lunch spot, you won't do better than The Gallery Café, located in building A3 near the entrance to Bergamot Station. The menu specials change daily, offering a variety of food and beverages. To find other restaurants, you'll have to drive a short distance from Bergamot Station. Café Bizou is a popular California-French bistro chain that serves upscale cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. L.A. Farm is another popular local restaurant that's ideal for lunch or brunch, offering French cuisine at moderate prices.
