The Last Supper
August 30, 2025

Solo Exhibition by Summer Ester Orr, for Serva Pool Flux

The Last Supper was a free ceramic exhibition & pop-up banquet experience that invited participants to share a locally-sourced meal utilizing entirely functional dinnerware made by hand – from candlesticks to wine goblets. These adorned objects presented a world created piece by piece, one that exalts life on Earth and the delicate systems currently at risk.

Summer Ester Orr (b. 1996) is a Honduran-American ceramicist, object-maker, and educator living in the rural West. Informed by post-industrial revolution craft movements, folk art, and a “back to the land” ethos, Orr’s objects are rooted in simple whimsy, storytelling, and introspection. They offer a way to connect with place, ecological memory, and the natural world while also retaining functionality. The vessels strive to give a moment of peace to the beholder… as in the soft exclamation when one sees a small animal moving throughout the landscape.  The wood & soda-fired surfaces are adorned with various illustrative techniques like sgraffito, stamps, inlay, and purposeful wadmarking.
