We just received these three really beautiful collaborative vases by Jason Burnett and Jerilyn Virden.  Jerilyn is an accomplished sculptor from the Penland, NC area and Jason is currently a core student at the Penland School of Crafts where he has already established himself as one of the finest young potters in Western North Carolina.  These pieces would be great additions for anyone who collects the work of either of these talented artists.  The vases are $85 each and only three of these collaborative pieces were made.
