Summer additions

Dog days of summer got you down? 

Not to worry... our AC is repaired!!! Nice and icy cool, now.

Yeah, Southern California is having a bit of a
heat wave...                                        

but it should be less hot soon.

Here's some cool art to take your mind off it....

Our newest artist is Heather Green who makes these tie-dyed bags and wine totes.

Wine totes by Heather Green

Nicely embellished with beads & bells.

 

Heather also makes these gorgeous wind chimes from recycled kitchen bowls, jello molds, and decorative trays. She incorporates beading and interesting Indian brass bells.

Hey, this posting is overdue...

I've been wanting to draw attention to some new

Guest Artists

we have here at Art Hus. Many are local to Santa Barbara County,

and some are outside the area.

Cup/vase, Irene Estrin

Sake bottle by Irene Estrin

Irene Estrin's hand-built pottery features organic forms and textures, no two pieces alike. She stamps the clay with objects found in nature: seeds, leaves, driftwood, pinecones... even star fish! She begins by layering the flattened coils of clay, letting her hands decide what shape it will be. Some pieces take a number of days to make because she lets them dry a little before adding more layers, so the piece doesn't collapse from weight.

Fish dish, Cheryl Johnson

Fish, Cheryl Johnson

Fish, Cheryl Johnson

Fused glass artist Cheryl Johnson is inspired

 by nature and the sea. Her wonderfully stylized fish dishes come to life through a variety of advanced fusing techniques and glass.

She also makes wall-mounted versions.

Armando de la Rocha, vase

Cat mug

Day of the Dead mug

Armando de la Rocha's style of fun, functional folk pottery is very popular here in the Santa Barbara area, and incorporates some Day of the Dead themes.

Mosaics by Kelly Aaro

Kelly Aaron makes some of the most original and inspired mosaics I've seen. Drawing upon her large palette of ephemera gathered from thrift stores, Kelly relishes the textures and patterns of the ceramic shards, as well as color, utilizing bits of found printing and makers' marks. She incorporates vintage jewelry and tchotchkes into her work, embellishing with beads, buttons, marbles and other found objects.
