Modern Marbles
~ introducing a few HOT marble-makers ~

James Brauer, loveland, co
James Brauer handmade this entire creepy crawler and all of the other oddities we have for the Modern Marbles exhibition. He hand-forges steel, precisely shaping the hot metal on his antique anvil to mimic the movement of the wandering arachnid. He then creates the eyeball, meticulously layering glass, so not only does the eyeball look realistic, but another vortex forms on the other side of the marble! So cool! When everything is cooled down they are brought together to create one magnificent, if not a little eerie, marble sculpture. |

 Sayuri Kingsbury,
west barnstable, ma
Sayuri Kingsbury grew up in Sapporo, Japan. At just 18, she started blowing glass in a local factory. She studied glass techniques at Toyama City Institute of Glass Art and attended the Sapporo School of Arts. Before moving to the United States to work with Fritz Lauenstein (one of our long-time favorite marble-makers), she also practiced her craft as a glass-blower in Sweden. Captivated by the glass-making process, she effortlessly combines recycled glass with her distinctive techniques and sense of aesthetics to create gorgeous art-glass and marbles. |

Mark Matthews, archbold, ohio
Making his debut at indigenous, Mark Matthews is notably recognized for his work in glass, especially in glass spheres. Each piece is meticulously worked and signed by the artist. Highly collected and valued, Mark's work has been published in many books and is held in museums such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, England; the Corning Museum of Glass in New York; the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio; the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; and now at indigenous. This super-greeny is an air-trap design where complete control of a trapped air bubble forms a skull - this one was created with uranium, so it fluoresces under untlraviolet light. Wow. |

Larry Zengel & Brett Young
bowling green, ohio
Brett Young and Larry Zengel form a two-man team called Hot House Glass. Larry & Brett produce some of the cleanest and most beautiful soft glass furnace marbles you will EVER see. Their designs are always colorful and fun, with precise lines and tight terminations. This plaidicino is quite a tricky one to make, but so amazing you'll get lost in classic patterns! The term plaidicino is a made-up one, inspired by the traditional Venetian technique known as "latticino". This marble was not made with canes, as in traditional Venetian filigrana, but with strips of glass laid onto the surface and worked into the hot glass during the process, thus creating endless layers of lines and color. |

Amy Elswick
louisville, ky
Amy's work focuses on functional and decorative items for the home. Her work is both wheel thrown and handbuilt, many times utilizing several techniques on one piece. She is intrigued by textures and uses a variety of tools to achieve a unique finish. Amy's inspiration comes from manipulating the clay~ she finds a great deal of satisfaction in being able to carve or scratch into leather hard clay, completely changing the energy of a piece. |

...new arts delivered daily |

 Amy Galon, mentor, ohio
Amy Galon is a nationally recognized jewelry designer whose designs are inspired from dreams, fantasies, and decadent memories~ she hopes her jewelry returns you to a place of harmony, bliss, and carefree elation. |

Jocelyn Coulter
cincinnati, ohio
Combining her interest in the natural world and ceramics, Jocelyn's pieces often look and feel like an encrusted treasure found on the ocean floor. Well, they are treasure bowls! Jocelyn creates molds from all types of everyday treasures, and then slip-castes them to form her treasure bowls. They can also double as an eye-spy game- fun & functional! |

 Bonnie Mitchell, milford, oh
Bonnie is a self-taught ceramic artist, known-about-town for doing personal pet portrait sculptures in clay. She just started creating everyday, functional wares~ cups, plates, even butter keepers, exploring a totally new process! Still showing her love of animals, she is now carving her designs into the clay and adding mostly black glaze producing a rich visual and tactile effect. |

 Amy Wallace, cincinnati, ohio
Our favorite polymer clay artist, Amy Wallace considers herself a compulsive artist of many artforms which is evident in her new collection for indigenous. Her love of patterns and quirky color combinations are revealed in all of her work~ from her chunky "crater" pendant, to her precisely beaded pins, to her signature "stacker bead" jewelry ~ you'll be dazzled & delighted by them all!

Paul Borian, falmouth, ky
Each piece of pottery is wheel-thrown by Paul Borian in the studio he built about 10 years ago. The pottery is made from a stoneware clay dug from his lake and glazed with hardwood ash found on his farm. His beautiful ceramic forms are completely functional; specifically designed to withstand thermal shock and retain heat making them ideal for baking, while the relatively lightweight forms and attractive glazes make them suitable for serving at a party! |

150+ artists represented everyday... |
