Glenn Gage
The first you thing you notice about Glenn's hand thrown stoneware is its wonderfully vivid and highly saturated colors. This is achieved by a heavy reduction firing and individual application of the colors. The color is applied using a series of slips and stains under and on top of the celadon glaze. The layering process of the colors under the clear glaze adds depth to the finished pieces.
Glenn's hand painting gives a contemporary flare to the traditional forms. The pottery is then high-fired in a reduction kiln to achieve the brilliant colors. There are no leads or toxins in the glazes so the pieces are safe for use, combining function with beauty.

Since earning his Bachelor's Degree in pottery from the University of South Carolina in 1979, Glenn has owned and operated his clay studio.
During this time he has won numerous awards for his work. Glenn exhibits throughout the southeast in galleries, exhibitions and art festivals. Most recently he won best in category at Lazy Days Festival in Cary, N.C. His work is represented nationally in both public and private collections. See more

New Work from Sarah Graham

Sarah Graham has just sent us a group of fresh new designs.
Her beautiful jewelry is always a favorite with our customers, who got to know Sarah through her pebble stacking rings.
Sarah works in 18k yellow, white, and rose gold, and cobalt chrome. Her work is accented with white, cognac, and black diamonds. All of the gold in Sarah's jewelry is recycled, and all the diamonds are conflict free.
