Jeanne Quinn: “Everything Is Not As It Seems”
Anyone in search of art in Greenwich Village could do worse than come in out of the cold at the Greenwich House Pottery’s cozy Jane Hartsook Gallery, where the ceramic artist Jeanne Quinn has grabbed the concept of the chandelier and run with it, filling the intimate space ceiling to floor with a surreal white chandelier—actually a grouping of eight chandeliers—created out of porcelain, wire and electrical hardware. There are ...

Our flagship show in Baltimore is now in full swing! We’re all holding our breath, but so far we’ve been spared by the snowstorm, except for a smattering of flurries this morning. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather through the weekend!
Now that I’ve had a chance to take in more of it, I’ve been struck by the wonderful balance between the old and the new at our Baltimore Show. As you wander your way through the aisles, you can find 30-year show veterans like David Bacharach and Seymour Mondshein next to up-and-coming crafters exhibiting their wares in Baltimore for ...

From the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa to Howard Street in Manhattan’s SoHo come the imaginative, vibrant and adventurous works created by the extraordinary talents at the Ardmore ceramic studio. I caught up with the latest from Ardmore right at the close of Amaridian’s recent exhibition and was both charmed by the works on display and disappointed to have missed many others that had already been purchased. Fraser Conlon, the owner of Amaridian, was pleased to say that the show “did incredibly well and many of the top pieces have been sold.” Conlon acknowledged ...

In what promises to be a refreshingly fun and enlightening show, over 300 skateboard decks by artists and skaters from across the country come out of the garage, the attic or off the shelf for display in “Full Deck” at Walnut Creek’s Bedford Gallery starting July 5th until September 13th.

In a discussion at Art Basel 2007, Massimiliano Gioni, the curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, referred to Art Basel Miami Beach as the “fake Art Basel.” Dioni seems to be alone in his thoughts because last week tens of thousands of collectors clamoring to buy, celebrities wanting to be seen and people simply looking to participate in all the excitement invaded Miami for a non-stop week of exhibits, parties and events. With Design/Miami running concurrently and a variety of other art fairs, design shows and exhibitions piggybacking on the two main events, the city was overwhelmed with ...

Birthdays have always been a big deal for Karen Lorene, owner of Facere Jewelry Art Gallery in Seattle. “I had a mother who made wonder out of birthdays. When you woke up in bed, you’d feel the presents by your toes,” she says. “When I got married, I told my husband three things were sacred. One, Valentines. Two, Easter baskets on Easter morning. And three, birthdays.” For her 70th this month, Lorene naturally wanted to do something special. So she’s presenting a show of 70 new jewelry pieces made for the occasion, each interpreting a year ...

For a first-time visitor, the American Craft Council’s Baltimore Show can be somewhat overwhelming - in the best possible way. I experienced that today when I entered the Baltimore Convention Center for a sneak peek at the exhibitors in our 34th annual show. I was immediately struck not only by the sheer number of artists, but also by the eclectic variety of the work on display. It’s an incredible sensory experience to encounter exquisitely handcrafted goods in such a range of colors, shapes, textures and materials. I found it hard to make any progress through the show - I kept ...
