Silver Tree Art; a Ministry in Motherhood

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

A custom cupcake order come through the door from Suzanne of Silver Tree Art. Not only is she a great artisan, she also reaches people through her art to promote healing. Suzanne runs a bereavement support group to demonstrate how art therapy can work with someone who has suffered the loss of a loved one. One of the women in her support group has lost her child and is mourning. Suzanne knew how important it was for this young mother to have a way to preserve this child’s memory and to celebrate his life. I’m glad my cupcakes can bring a little light to cast out sadness, to commemorate the memory of a precious life and bring some happy memories abound. You can check out Suzanne’s blog here

July 5- 27 ~ Derek Weisberg & Crystal Morey @ Young Blood Gallery

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Here are two ceramic figurative sculpture artists that I’m very excited about going to see at Atlanta’s Young Blood Gallery opening July 5 - 27th - Don’t miss it! They are two very talented artists that I’ve seen in Juxtapoz Magazine before; Derek Weisberg & Crystal Morey. They are collaborating on this show and you can see they’re works in progress for this show here. I’ve studied the figure since I was 15 years old and this type of work is very inspiring to me, can’t wait till I’m up to par on being able to produce this caliber of work in clay. This will be a great opening & I hope to see you there!

Jeanette Zeis Ceramics

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

One of my studio mates has created a really cool cake stand & it looks very nice with my cupcakes on it. I like it when we make things that go hand and hand. Jeanette Zeis is the artist and she has really been cranking out super great work since i’ve met her. I’m continually impressed with her product lines, each is unique from the other yet they all seem to stay true to her own style. I’m glad we work together. She’s got great web pressence :) Check out her blog site here; her 2 etsy sites; Vessels and Wares & Vegan Dish, and her other website here. Also my studio’s site is revamped; see Cabbagetown Clay and Glassworks here.
