The Venice Chess Set

Pictured are Samuel Goldstein and Gedalia Arditti playing chess with the handmade, oversized set.

The 16 ceramic artists who created the chess pieces include Joyce Lieberman, Jon Wexler, Dana Eli, Samuel Goldstein, Linda Taylor, Elaine Roark, Pamela Naylor, Kitching Ambrosia, Herida Zamora, Tye Drabkin, Sandy LaMare, James Sherrill, Marcia Moussa, Michael Anderson, Sarita Simone and Nels Christianson.

All of the pawns are one-of-a-kind and three inches tall. Rooks, bishops and knights are five inches tall, and the king and queen are six inches tall. The oversize chess board, which was quilted by Pamela Naylor is divided into four inch squares.
