Seriously, how can one person be this amazingly good? Mike Jabbur’s soda-fired, functional pieces, with their numerous ledges and shifting planes, are just sooo well planned out and thrown, and they truly fit the hand incredibly well - AND they’re ALL also simplyGORGEOUS!! Are you kidding me?! Ok, ok, I know I shouldn’t be jealous. It’s about appreciation, and being impressed, and… oh, who am I kidding?! I’m totally jealous. He’s beyond amazing!
So, thank you Mike, for making the world of ceramics a better place, just because you and these glorious pieces are in it!!💖
Annnd, some more gorgeous work for your eyes and your collections - these crystalline beauties w/ their semi-matte surface are like Skittles; one just isn’t enough (Seriously!! Just look at those colors!))
You’ll be seeing more of Andrew’s work this coming October. But we wanted to wet your whistle with these precious gems…

Oooh, I want to hold one of these “knit, decaled, soda-fired GEMS” … I won’t try to taste it, I promise. That said, it wouldn’t be my fault if I did take a little lick, because self-control has always been a bit of an issue of mine. Yum! Anyway, this is the ceramic work of Oklahoma-based artist Marissa Childers. And for me, this nostalgic-based, impeccably made, body of work is everything my grandma would be (if she were made out of ceramics…and it would taste like ginger snap cookies🍪!). And the feel of them is really incredible because of that knitted texture - it’ll make your mouth water.
Oh. My. This is the mesmerizing ceramic work of Matt Hiller (he’s also a fantastic woodworker!). All of these calming palettes and well-thought-out color combinations combined with intricate, dizzying patterns THAT HE INDIVIDUALLY CARVES!! could keep me here all day. Not a bad idea, actually. Our lone Alaskan artist in the gallery, who we were able to meet personally this spring (he’s an absolutely WONDERFUL guy by the way…!!)
And did I say that the feel of his work to the hand is just what you imagine?? It was the first attraction I had to it - and now you really need to hold one yourself!
OUR JEWELRY CORNER
I'm continually amazed by Robert Thomas Mullen's craftsmanship and artistic vision.
His ability to harmoniously blend semiprecious stones, ancient fossils, and natural rocks creates truly unique and captivating pieces.
Each creation showcases his remarkable talent for transforming raw materials into stunning, one-of-a-kind jewelry.
His work in wearable art that's both sophisticated and wonderfully unexpected.

Before becoming a ceramic artist and teacher, Ron Meyers worked as a graphic designer, and he continued drawing throughout his entire career. His 2D work is loose, expressive, and full of character. Many of his creatures are playful caricatures of people he’s met or worked with over the years. He also loved portraying himself as a rat.

My wife Silvia and I have only been in the gallery business for just over five years now (plus two more years spent managing Crimson Laurel Gallery). It wasn’t something either of us had a background in or even considered when thinking about a career or starting a business, but like many things that happen in life, it just happened. (…)
