Drawing on the long history of Mediterranean ceramics, Italian artist Clara Holt covers the surfaces of vessels, tiles, and tablets with playful, colorful narratives. Inspired by the region’s ancient decorative pottery like the Minoan octopus flask or Greek and Etruscan vase painting, she illustrates references to mythology, nature, customs, and folklore. As a child, Holt’sContinue reading "Clara Holt Reimagines Ancient Myths and Decorative Traditions in Vivid Ceramic Vessels"

Towards the end of each semester, in an attempt to keep the 8th grade classes challenged, I include some 3-d assignments. Here are just a few. The fiber coil pots start out a bit difficult, but once the students get the hang of the rhythm of the stitches, they tend to turn out beautifully. We usually complete these before the holidays so they can take them home and use as gifts. In the spring, students create a paper mache letter and a plaster mask. The letters are constructed from tag board with 3 layers of paper mache and then decoupaged with 3 colors of tissue paper. The masks are created from plastic molds with two layers of plastercraft wrap and then painted and/or embellished. Above is an attempt at using my new hallway display cases. I am lucky to have them, but I am still getting used to the not-so-secure shelves and the non-corked back wall...any suggestions on using the space better, especially from those of you that are veteran art displayers?

Listing is for one hand poured concrete planter/vessel with original art. ***Any customizations are an additional cost and will not be added unless you add additional art fee*** Measures 3.5 inches tall, 3” wide. Due to the nature of concrete variations and color and texture are to be expected. These are very raw, aged looking, organic planters. I leave the air bubbles in to mimic buildings in nature. Miniatures can be added for an additional cost as well. Miniatures are not attached. Use a small dot of superglue to attach where you would like. There are no returns or exchanges on custom made to order items.

Stockholm-based ceramicist Caroline Harrius (previously) embroiders vases with floral patterns that explore the relationships between gender and craft and decoration and purpose. Distorting perceptions, the delicate pieces appear as though Harrius wrapped stitched fibers around a glazed vessel, or in a parallel manner, sculpted fabric to mimic a curved form. Harrius punctures the shiny, semi-functional vases with holes and then pulls through threads to produce patterns and floral motifs that explore gender norms and hierarchies in craft history, specifically focusing on those typically associated with women.

Eugène Grasset (1845 – 1917) was born in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1845. He was raised in an artistic environment as the son of a cabinetmaker and sculptor who taught him at an early age how to use the chisel and the gouge. He studied drawing under Francois-Louis David Bocion (1828–1890) and in 1861 went to Zürich to study architecture. After completing his education, he visited Egypt, an experience that would later be reflected in a number of his poster designs. He became an admirer of Japanese art, which influenced some of his designs as well. Between 1869 and 1870, Grasset worked as a painter and sculptor in Lausanne. He moved to Paris in 1871 where he designed furniture, wallpapers, fabrics, and tapestries as well as ceramics and jewellery. He created architectural elements of woodwork that were integrated into buildings. His fine art decorative pieces were crafted from ivory, gold, and other precious materials in unique combinations and his creations are considered a cornerstone of Art Nouveau motifs and patterns. In 1877 Grasset turned to graphic design, producing income-generating products such as postcards and eventually postage stamps for both France and Switzerland. It was poster art, however, that quickly became his forte. Some of his works became part of the Maîtres de l’Affiche, including his lithograph, "Jeanne d'Arc Sarah Bernhardt". In 1890, he designed the "Semeuse who spreads seeds of dandelion” logo used by the dictionary publishers, Éditions Larousse. With the growing popularity of French posters in the United States, Grasset was soon contacted by several American companies. In the 1880s, he did his first American commission and more success led to his cover design for the 1892 Christmas issue of Harper’s Magazine. 1894 Grasset created "The Woolly Horse" and "The Sun of Austerlitz" for The Century Magazine to help advertise their serialised story on the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. The image proved so popular that Tiffany made it in stained glass. Grasset's work for American institutions helped to pave the way for the Art Nouveau style to dominate in American art. Grasset taught design at the École Guérin from 1890 to 1903, at the École d’Art graphique in the rue Madame from 1903 to 1904, the Académie de la Grande Chaumière from 1904 to 1913, and at the École Estienne in Paris. Grasset had freely adapted the alphabet of Nicolas Jenson (1471) with the intention of using it to print a book on his own method for ornamental composition, inspired by the courses he gave to the Guérin school. Georges Peignot acquired Grasset's alphabet and obtained an official patent October 7, 1897 for the typeface under the name, "Grasset". He then gave Henri Parmentier, the workshop's punchcutter, the mission to engrave it. In 1896 he published a dissertation on the use of plants in designs, that featured images of designs prepared by his students. At the Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris, the G. Peignot et Fils type foundry, introduced the “Grasset” typeface, an Italic design Eugène Grasset created in 1898 for use on some of his posters. Grasset died in 1917 in Sceaux the Hauts-de-Seine department, south of Paris.

Anhad (boundless) is a range of hand embroidered clothing created with an extraordinary group of artisans from villages of Bihar (India), using their age old traditional embroidery craft called Sujani. Fractals are patterns formed from chaotic equations and contain self-similar patterns of complexity increasing with magnification. Naturally occurring fractals (seen in rivers, blood vessels, DNA, clouds, heartbeat, earthquakes to name a few) are unpredictable yet deterministic, when viewed holistically. They redefine chaos in nature.
