New Arrivals: Holidays, 2014
We don't normally do this sort of gift blog post on the spur of the moment, but our artists have sent us some outstanding new pieces. We feel compelled to spread the joy! All items shown are available in the Gallery right now, ready for your Holiday gift-giving (and we're working hard, like those busy little elves, to post them in the online shop soon - if not sooner!).
Please come in for a look, or contact the Gallery for information if you don't see it in the online shop.
Returning to the Gallery after a hiatus of several years,
Barb brought us these wonderful Coyote masks, boasting whiskers of
barrel cactus spine from Mojave, California.
Our newest ceramic artist, Joe O'Brien of Bainbridge Island
makes wonderful bowls and cups, fired in a wood kiln
here on the island.
Javier Cervantes also makes his return to the Gallery
with these interesting ceramic wall pieces, called Bastons.
They represent traditional seed planters from the Oaxaca
area of Mexico.
Wood Sculpture
Take careful note of the long icicle formation dripping
splendidly down the face of the live-edge piece on the left, above.
This is hand-blown glass from Bainbridge Island's own
Messolini Glass Studio.
Just beautiful, and a whimsical touch to a gorgeous
piece of wall art.
Woodblock Prints
Come visit this post again soon; we'll add links and information as they become available in the online shop.
Happy Holidays!

Men's Wear Gifts
 |
| Men's Wave Tee. Mary Jaeger |
Our own International Man of Mystery
materialized in the Gallery just in time for us to
recruit him to model our new shipment of
Mary Jaeger's men's Wave and Waffle Weave tees.
They are all shown in the online shop at
Mary's page, where this mysterious fellow
may finally reveal his true identity!
(His disguise can be found below and under Wood-Fired Ceramics.
By the way, it also looks very good mounted on the wall.)

Simply glorious hand-blown glass Sunflower Tumblers from our
newest glass artists, Ken and Ingrid Hanson.
Besides being excellent drinking glasses, these make lovely votives!
We have one twinkling on the counter at the Gallery
at this very moment.
See individually in the online shop (coming soon).

| Reverberated Spaces. Tadeusz Warszynski |
From Edmonton, Alberta, we welcome
Tadeusz Warszynski, woodblock print artist and teacher.
We are currently displaying three of his pieces in the Gallery.

He says of his work:
Change, passage of time, birth and death are the themes
Change, passage of time, birth and death are the themes
that
are always present in my work.
As an artist, I am interested in recreating sensations that
are unspoken
and universal at the same time. Very often there is a paradox or
contradiction that brings feelings of uncertainty or suspension.
This is important to me because it helps to create an ongoing
dialogue with the viewer (no conclusion) and becomes a
great metaphor for life where nothing is as it
seems.
Lamps

| Geometrics. Steve Humphrey, L. Wendy Dunder |
An amazing lamp crafted from bronze, patinated steel and copper
by Bainbridge Island metal artist Steve Humphrey
with a paper and wood illuminated sculpture shade

Several other new lamps from these artists
have also just arrived at the Gallery.
