Coille Hooven is often referred to as the first ceramist to bring feminism to clay. Hoovenâs use of household objects has been the core of her work. Coille Hooven: Dancing for the Moon assembles Hoovenâs fantastical porcelain shoes, finger puppets, and magic carpets. The work speaks to her desire for storytelling and fables.

The Women Who Changed California Clay
A Critical Discussion
Join the Monterey Museum of Art as we gather an expert panel of curators, scholars, art dealers, and gallerists to discuss how women shaped California Ceramics in the second half of the 20th Century. Through great art and feminist activism, ceramicists such as Coille Hooven (on display at the museum) forged the way for current generations of women in ceramics and glass arts.
