Sculpture, jewelry & porcelain pottery Cheri has been working in clay for over 30 years and is currently changing the direction of her work to include: “Silverwear Jewelry” and a line of “Faeriewear Jewelry.” Faeriewear is made of silver wire and gemstones and Silverwear is Silver Art Clay/PMC. This medium is .999 pure silver dust mixed with water to form a clay that is hand shaped, imprinted with designs, dried and fired in a small kiln then tumbled for shine and assembled into wearable art. Soon we will be adding our own lampworked glass beads to the mix. "I have not given up clay as of yet because the medium still intrigues me to sculpt kimonos, robes and dress forms for garden or home." Cheri is also giving new direction to sculptured and hand-built functional pieces working mainly in teapots, lamps and vases. "As before, we still live and work here in Brown County, grateful every day for our beautiful surroundings of hills and trees." In her spare time, Cheri is the wife of Dallas, the mother of three grown children and grandmother to six, Executive Director of the Brown County Studio Tours Inc., member of the Art Alliance of Brown County, Board member of our Brown County Convention and Visitors Bureau and hopefully a good friend to many.
Cheri still has her rose
garden, (although it has gotten a bit smaller), hosta and shade garden,
perennial garden (working on simplifying this one also). Who knew there would be such delight working in common materials? |
