The American Craft Council Baltimore Show was just starting to close when I overheard a passerby say, "...it's just one thing after another! Wow, it's just amazing!", and I can think of no other statement that best describes the event. It was a completely great experience; to met and greet the craftspeople and see their works in person. Up until the event, I just knew them through their works, but I still felt like I knew them like old friends. I'll give a shout out to the artists that I met.
The Iron Design Company promotes stylish designs. Headed by Marc Maiorana, the designs are of elegance that is not usually associated with iron. It's really hard to fathom how exquisitely made Maiorana's candlesticks are, and even more because they are the result of processing an industrial material. Even the simple, small bottle openers he has manufactured can double as installation art.
Let me talk about Jamie Harris while we are on the topic of installations. Recently, he added a "mod" to his selection of glass blown pieces. These pieces of art are layered with vibrant colors, and then carved so thinly that they could easily clip to your wall. The glass canvass is a remarkable way to add to your decor.
Euh-Suh Choi also handles glass, but with a slight variation; her personal experiences show on the material, as does her unique designs. She works with extremely thin glass, but in the end, she still ends up with works that are contemplative and simply remarkable.
They are all more than eager to show off their talent to the rest of the world. If I could have afforded it, I would have perused their works more carefully and gone through each one. But, even so, there are a lot more talented people there than the ones I have shown here. And you will get to meet them when you visit a craft show.
