Glynnis makes functional high-fired porcelain ware and decorates each pot’s surface using sgraffito with black or colored slips. Designs are drawn free hand; each one is unique. She often covers the surface with slip, draws the design and then carves away what is not needed for the image.

I studied both architecture and art history, both of which strongly impact my work in structure and texture. I began my beading career making art-to-wear and successfully run my own … Continue reading

Blog entry by Robert Christy, studio #18 I create many different kinds of art, from serious paintings to playful wooden crank toys, but the kind of painting I enjoy most is plein air – painting in the great out of doors. I like it because it gives me a great excuse to be in beautiful places, and observe them closely. It’s amazing what wildlife, plants and insects (Poison Ivy?
