While making errands on the campus, I found a pocket exhibit- I mean, a tiny, tiny exhibit. ✨😌

This exhibit was to celebrate National Heritage Month with the theme “Preserving Legacies, Building Futures. Empowering Communities Through Heritage.”

Presenting, Habi’t Palayok! In English, Weaving and Pottery. 🙌🏻

College of Fine Arts and Design

The pieces were hung on a white wall, which made the colors stand out more. The woven pieces were lit with a warm light, making the space inviting and warm.

I just took my time looking at the art and was very careful not to get close. Up close, I can see more of the effort behind weaving. 👏🏻✨

I believe there were stories and personality in every piece. The fringes on the bottom added playfulness, and I love the color combinations! 😌✨

My favorite was the blue palette since I like the comfort of the shade. I imagine hanging it in my room. I had tried it before for a project, and yeah, those complicated patterns suddenly popped in my head. 😁

Moving on to the pots~ Instantly, I was charmed with different concepts and quirky designs.

So cutesy ~ 😫

Good night!

One of my favorites was this cat tucked in a blanket. I believe the concept of the blanket originated from the traditional Inabel blanket, made by Filipino artisans from Ilocos Norte. Kitty was chilling like a villain. Ahhh- Just looking at the collection made me want to try pottery so bad! 🐱

Ughhh a purple cake! Wait, is that a sloth with an apple on its head? What a cool concept! I wonder what was running through the artist’s mind while making this art. Maybe a sweet and fluffy daydream. ✨🎂

While looking at the collection, I was trying to decode everyone’s little story of how they came up with the concept. Such brilliant minds! 😀

Quirky designs key holder in a cactus form, a bread and egg coaster, a mushroom trinket holder, a cactus tower, and ohhh a miniature Jeepney! 🙌🏻

Though it was just a mini exhibit, I gained a lot of inspiration. I might try weaving or pottery in the future and will look back on this experience. The pieces felt personal, like a little peek into the artist’s creativity.

There is something joyful feeling when you make a physical art by yourself. 😃
