Elizabeth Garvin Jewelry at Smith Galleries

We are now in the final week of our 20th Anniversary Jewelry Exhibition. The exhibition features a special collection of jewelry by Elizabeth Garvin.

Pictured are matching earrings and necklace in 14k gold with Tahitian white pearl and cubic zirconium. Pendant circle is 1/2" diameter. Earring is 3/8' diameter.

Elizabeth writes..."I draw inspiration as much from industrial objects and processes as from nature and its examples of repetition and geometry. I am intrigued by design that is reduced to its simplest form, where all unnecessary elements have been removed and all that is left is the essence of the idea."

Peggy Karr Glass at Smith Galleries

Peggy Karr Glass is a long time favorite at Smith Galleries. Pictured is her 12" square platter in the Fish School pattern. This is just one of many delightful patterns. Each piece is made by hand by dusting glass enamels through stencils onto a plate of glass. A second piece of special glass called fused glass is layered on top and then it is put in a slump mold and placed in a kiln. The piece is heated to 1600 degrees at which point the two layers fuse together.
Peggy Karr Glass is a very popular gift item. And each piece is made in America which makes them even more popular in this day and age.

Dewey Cats at Smith Galleries

Mary Gates Dewey's cats are handmade of clay and the colors and patterns are produced by an ancient method of firing called sawdust or "pit" firing. Once the piece has been bisque fired in a kiln, it is buried in sawdust and the sawdust is burned. The smoke from the sawdust produces the permanent colors in the clay. Sizes vary slightly and color patterns are random. We have known Mary Gates Dewey since the early 70's when she visited Wally's pottery studio which was in Tennessee at that time. Mary's cats, which we have featured for several years, have been continuously sought after by collectors and cat lovers.
