More about the artists:

Dress Series by Laura King

Laura King:

My dress series started just after I was married eight years ago. I was inspired by my wedding dress, and the beauty and presence it held on its own. I create these pieces with a sewing machine, which still gives me a non-traditional approach to making art. It also connects me to my childhood, when dresses, sewing, and art were part of my life in a little different way.

Tami Johnson:

My ceramic work is entirely built by hand using low fire clay. Whether I am building platters, bowls or vases, I prefer the irregularities and imperfection of work made by hand. I am inspired by the world around me and enjoy bold print and pattern and high contrast in stylized and silhouette designs. To create the silhouette designs, I paint on black slip and carve beautiful, simple forms inspired by nature.
