Bari Ziperstein at Mier Gallery

Bari Zipperstein, who for a few years has concentrated her energies on a line of production pottery called BZippy, returns this month to her fine art background. The artist, who grew up in the Chicago area, came to L.A. for graduate studies at Cal Arts. While there, she learned a lot about what not to do. Ceramics, for instance.
