WI Craft "ReGeneration" Exhibition now open in Wausau, WI
Wisconsin Craft, a state wide non-profit organization that I have been a member of for over 30 years is hosting its WI Craft Member Biennial Exhibition "Regeneration" from March 24 - May 27 at the Center for Visual Arts in Wausau, WI.
I created two pieces for the Exhibition, a Teapot with a set of cups and saucers with red milkweed and monarch butterflies. The other piece was super fun and a bit scary to make since I have not attempted slab sculptural work in more than 25 years! As you probably have noticed, I like to explore floral patterns with my sgraffito images, I challenged myself to bring some of these shapes into a more three-dimensional form. I focused on the leaves of the bleeding-heart plant and also the spiral fern fronds that grow every spring in our back yard. The tallest piece in the middle is just under two feet. 
Bleeding Hearts Sgraffito demoMy newest design is the Bleeding Hearts pattern. One of my favorite flowers as we have many growing all around our back yard. Spring is my favorite time of year as the shoots and leaves of this amazing plant are sprouting forth from the ground.
The Bleeding Heart pattern is definitely my most complicated to date. It consists of a different approach to applying my colored slip. A more painterly technique, I brush on layers of the different colors in specific areas on the piece before I do the carving. Once carved, I then paint on additional highlights of color to define the flower's details and ad a little more depth. Video Above. Virtual Studio TourIf you have not visited me at my home studio, and are curious about how and where I work, I created this virtual tour of my studio that includes some demonstrations of how I make my work. Thanks for watching! Approximately 17 minutes long.
