 There is nothing conventional, and everything smile-inducing, about Darren Powers' creations.

Johnny Glaze creations before firing...

and after firing.

Darren's raku fired ceramics are not to be missed. It's best to see them up close and even better with Darren there to tell you how he does what he does. 

Don't miss seeing him, and eleven other artists, at ArtBrake! 2017. June 10-11 from 10am to 5pm. All at one location: the beautiful studio and grounds of Bluebird Farm. Find more info here.

Meet the Artist: Christie Minchew

Christie explains some of the inspiration behind her art and gives a quick demo...

Pretty and Practical

End-Grain Cutting Board © Charles Minchew 2014

Chuck Minchew's end-grain cutting boards are so beautiful, it's hard to think of taking a knife to them.  But that's the beauty of the end-grain concept: it's nicer to your knives and food safe as well.  This one is made from local woods including elm, cherry, oak, maple and walnut.

All is said...

and done.

Ohhhhh my.  This is absolutely beautiful.  Linda's been focusing on the aspects of light and I truly love the results.  It's even better in person... April 26 and 27.
