Glass Nest 2022

A new piece out of the kiln! I’m continuing my fascination with nests. Something about them just intrigues me and makes me happy.”   Glass artist Carolyn Myers Lindberg

As a former ceramicist, I’ve worked in glass since 2012 and recently moved to Seaside from Portland.  I received early instruction at Bullseye Glass, and the rest of my work and style was developed through my own experience and exploration.  I want my creations to be used and held. Like many artists, I find inspiration in nature, whether the sea, the sky, or the forest, and I’m constantly surprised by beauty in unexpected places.  I love exploring and experimenting with color and texture that I find in the natural world close to home or faraway places worldwide.” CML

For DIFFERENT STROKES, impasto fresco artist Martha Lee.

“Sunset Sea” oil impasto on linen by Martha Lee

Secret gardens, places and frescos, these are things of
antiquity that have inspired my paintings.

Organic forms, patterns, textures, changing light effects and rich,
the luminous color of the sea is the subject of my work.

I am working on impasto paintings of spectacular sunsets that are filled with glowing gold.”  Martha Lee

Her passion for the natural world inspires Martha Lee’s paintings. She set up her first studio in Seattle in 1982 and has been creating in oil, pastel, and mixed-media ever since.

Her work consists of textured surfaces, and her goal is the let the mysteries emerge, infusing each piece with a sense of timelessness, universality, and infinity.

She continually attempts to capture the changing light effects of dawn, dusk, and twilight and the mysteries of nature.

Q: What is impasto painting, you ask?

A: Impasto is an art term used to describe thickly textured paint that is almost three-dimensional in appearance. Using an impasto technique often leaves visible brush strokes in the finished painting. Impasto is a type of sculpture, but it is on a canvas for painters. The paint is laid onto a surface thickly, holding the imprint of an artist’s brush or palette knife.

The impasto oil painting technique is usually associated with the work of Vincent Van Gogh. He applied the paints directly onto the canvas and simply mixed them with his fingers. One of the examples of the impasto technique in his oeuvre is the painting The Starry Night.

Just in from Marcia Hudson, N.W. clay artist.

Soft celadon ceramics by Marcia Hudson, clay artist.

Iconic coastal patterns of gulls, sea stacks, clouds, and waves.

Signed. One-of-a-kind.

Vases, bowls, platters, and mugs.

Q: What is the difference between a ceramicist and a potter, you ask?

A: Both ceramicists and potters work with the same material: they go through the same process of wedging the clay, forming, firing, and glazing. So, it is a matter of preference how you want to call yourself if you work with clay. A ceramicist, a potter, a clay artist, a ceramic designer.

Q: What is a female potter called, you might ask?

A: A female pottery maker is called a potteress (plural potteresses)

Q: How did the name potter originate?

A: The name potter came from the Old French word of poterie.

Q: What is the favorite glaze in pottery?

A: Celadon is an all-time favorite glaze in pottery. It is a mint-gray-green color in ceramics, developed about the 2nd century C.E. Today, as it has done for thousands of years, celadon blends well in spaces with surrounding natural tones for a calming, earthy feel.

This color found in pottery and glaze typically appears gray-green in hue. The color of celadon owes much to the raw materials—specifically, the presence of iron in the clay and iron oxide, manganese oxide, and quartz particles in the glaze—as well as to the firing conditions inside the kiln.

Just in from Marica Husdon. Celadon ware. Functional and calming ceramics.  

Sharing a favorite quote from the artist.
Life is precious, life is fragile, and life is short.  Live each day with kindness and mindfulness. 

Marica Hudson is a member of the Artists in the Clay Guild of the Cascades (CGC). The Guild shares a passion for clay with each other and the community. They aim to promote creative self-expression in clay, share knowledge and experience, and facilitate an appreciation of handmade pottery and ceramics.
