The oldest continuously operating wooden wharf on the California coast, built by John Peck Stearns in 1872 at the foot of State Street in Santa Barbara. It runs roughly 2,300 feet out into the harbour, set on creosoted pilings that have been rebuilt more than once after fire and storm. Cars are still allowed on the deck, which is unusual for a working pier. At the far end the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History runs a small Sea Center over the water, and a row of restaurants and shops occupies the middle stretch. The light over the channel changes more times in a day than seems fair.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
