October Featured Artist; Lisa Hepburn Ceramics & Gallery Night!

The October featured artist is Ceramics artist Lisa Hepburn. Lisa’s current work is informed by both a decades love pre-Colombian Mexican Pottery and a more recent obsession with all things mid-century modern. (A friend puts her design aesthetic this way: Mixtec meets Mad Men). Most of her work is built by hand with slab and coil methods. Most recently she has been experimenting with sculptural vase forms with unexpected negative space. While much of her current work is functional, she strives to create a sculptural sensibility in each piece. Above all, her work is meant to be touched.

Lisa will have her work showcased at Hatch Art House from October 1st-31st with an artist reception Friday, October 4th from 5-9pm coinciding with the city-wide MMoCA Gallery Night. Refreshments will be served along with an outside performance by singer/songwriter Karen Wheelock.

And Karen Wheelock’s Facebook page here for a chance to listen to her music!

Pick up Gallery Night maps at Hatch or on MMoCA’s website.

September Featured Artist: Lauren Ann Paul

September’s featured artist is textile designer and artist, Lauren Ann Paul. Being a textile artist Lauren creates many things for Hatch; screen-printed tea towels, hand-stamped fabric buckets ,tote bags and head bands made with her fabric design, wrap bracelets made from leather remnants and vintage bone buttons and most recently, you can see where her vision gets its start with her paintings. Many of her patterns evolve from nature. Seedpods, plants and vines come to mind.

In Lauren’s words; “I create because I am happiest when my hands are busy. I enjoy seeing a vision become a tangible object. I am inspired by nature, specifically the landscapes near Lake Michigan. I enjoy the energy that can be created from mixing color and pattern. I think it is important to love the things you surround yourself with. I strive to make things that are both useful and easy to love.”

Stop in anytime this month to see the expanded selection of her work and join us Friday, September 13th from 6-9pm for Lauren’s artist reception. Good times and refreshments will be served.
