Acorn Glassworks 鈥� Philip Yamron

Philip Yamron began his dance with glass in 1998. He is fond of watching how his actions cause the shape-shifting qualities of glass to fold into itself and reveal layers of beauty. For this Fall show, you will find pieces from his Calcedonia Collection, which are based on a rediscovered method of glass making first developed in the 1400s. Looking at his pieces gives you a sense of staring into the striations of color found in the flickering swirls of flames.

BMF Jewelry 鈥� Brittany Foster

Hailing from the Northwoods of Minnesota, Brittany Foster seeks to bring the elements of the forest into her jewelry. Her work is crafted from metal, and the flora and fauna designs you鈥檒l find on her work are all hand-cut. She was drawn to the creation of jewelry through manual tools, and once she realized that fire was involved too, there was no looking back! In her own words, my 鈥渨ork is not fueled by electricity, but, much like Popeye, by spinach and beer.鈥� 听

Orchard View Pottery 鈥� Mark Poole

Coalescing his Korean heritage, his love of Raku pottery, with his memories of the ocean and mountains, you鈥檒l find each of Mark Poole鈥檚 pieces to share its own personal story. Raku is a process where one must leave the look of the final project up to the fates. After removing a piece of pottery from the kiln, while it is still red-hot, it is placed in a material like leaves or sawdust, which will catch on fire. This starving of oxygen from the piece leads to various colors to emanate from the glaze.

William Ortman Glass Art

In the domain of glass, William Ortman was drawn to the way he could work color into his art. He looks for organic textures and patterns that form as he shapes and develops the piece. Using the technique of sandblasting, he finishes the work to reveal the components that lie beneath the surface. The overall form of a piece can range from an elegant, yet simple vase to that of a complex shell inspired by nature.
