The featured artist for October is linocut artist, Juliet Darken… an illustrator, storyteller, designer, fine artist, and Madison native. She creates whimsical, yet sophisticated pieces with traditional relief printmaking techniques, sometimes with small additions of collage and graphite. This involves a complex process of reversing the original design, carving, and printing each color as a separate layer. In her opinion, the most important thing for people to learn is how to communicate, and she enjoys adding her personal visual language to the human conversation. Juliet’s artwork will be showcased from October 1-31st. The artist reception coincides with the MMoCA citywide Gallery Night, October 5 from 5-9pm. Refreshments will be served.

| The September featured artist is Madison Potter, Jenny Blasen. Jenny was first introduced to ceramics in college as an exchange student in Japan. Many nights and weekends in community studio spaces over the years have led to her own studio in her home where she works on her pottery whenever possible. Jenny says; “I make functional pieces for everyday use. I use texture in my work and found objects, including lace, fabric, stamps, and leaves. Some of my most popular items are my yarn bowls and hand built plates.” Jenny will be showcasing her work at Hatch from September 1-31st with an artist reception on Friday, September 14th, 6-9pm. Good times and refreshments will be served. Check out the Facebook event page here: http://www.facebook.com/events/462484730459136/ |
