Jim Bridgman: Highlighting the beauty

Wood bowls and table by Jim Bridgman

It makes one want to take a closer look at everything Jim makes.  From his beautiful tables to his bowls and, ohh, the feather jewelry!

Jim learned how to make fishing lures from his father and uses those techniques on feather jewelry.

Jim finds the beauty in each material and makes it even better.

Carving a cane at his grandfather's homestead in Chatham County

Jim came back to Chatham County and converted his grandfather's home into a studio for himself and his wife, Regina. He has his hands in many creative endeavors from canes to wood to jewelry.
Meet Jim and see his beautiful crafts at ArtBrake! on June 10 and 11 at Bluebird Farm Studio.

A Twist on Stained Glass...and other materials

Regina Bridgman 2017

Regina Bridgman has been creating some new pieces using her stained glass techniques but with a different twist. After having to give up her leaded work for health reasons, Regina cleverly began to make stepping stones and indoor/outdoor art pieces (think doorstops, decorative pieces for the garden) with the stained glass that she loves and working with.  Soon came other concrete pieces featuring words, phrases and symbols that are meant to inspire or just bring a smile to someone.

Come see Regina and the eleven other artists at ArtBrake! this June 10 and 11 at the beautiful Bluebird Farm studio and grounds in Chatham County.  See www.ArtBrake.net for more information or look for our postcards in local shops and eateries.
