Mica Gallery - Works in White & Black
New exhibition at Mica: Works in Black and White - Members and Friends.
This show of the freshest works of Mica members will be on exhibit from May 27-July 24.
Mica is a must see destination for those who appreciate the handmade. Stop by, meet an artist, and celebrate spring!
In Tandem Gallery features ceramic artist Didem Mert and jewelry artist Linda Seebauer Hansen for the month of July.
Didem's thrown, handbuilt, and pinched forms are both fun and elegant, adding terra sigillata, underglazes, lustres, etc. to create that colorful functional surface. Linda works in a traditionally eastern method of metal forming known as Shibuichi.
Traditionally, this Japanese alloy is 25% silver and 75% copper which Linda pours into ingots to create varied reticulated surfaces and oxidizes the surface from blue to red creating beautiful patinaed colors.
Visit the In Tandem website to see a full calendar of upcoming exhibits, featured artists, estate collections, and online galleries.
In Tandem Gallery is located at 20 N Mitchell Ave, in downtown Bakersville.For more information, contact owner-curator Silvia Ferrari-Palmer at 828-688-6428.
