6pm until 9pm New Elements Gallery's exhibition Hand Crafted  opens on Friday, July 27th featuring recent works from five distinctly different ceramic and glass artists.

Bernstein Glass is the studio of husband and wife Billy & Katie Bernstein, located in western NC. After arriving at Penland in the early 70's, the Bernsteins quickly became an important part of the American art glass movement. Billy was instrumental in organizing the first meeting of the Glass Arts Society in 1971, now an international organization with over 1000 members. Katie first began her career in ceramics, but was convinced by glass pioneer Harvey Littleton that her clay sculptures would translate well into glass. Although they each do their own individual work, their functional pieces are a collaborative effort.

Shirley Cadmus is a North Carolina potter who often kneads various sands into the clay that have been collected during her travels or brought back to her by friends or relatives. Glass filaments, colored mica, and lava are sometimes placed around rims before glaze firing. All of her wood-fired glazes contain ashes from Mt. St. Helen's volcano and in the reduction phase of Raku firing Shirley has recently been experimenting with Spanish moss and various seaweeds.

Hokanson Dix Glass began with a collaborative body of blown glass vessels under the studio name Boar Glass in 2000. Artists Bengt Hokanson and Trefny Dix were inspired to create a collection of work that explored abstract color and texture patterning on sculptural glass forms. Although much of their work continues to be created as a series of groups, each piece is treated like an abstract painting and is therefore unique. They currently reside in Durango, Colorado.

Hiroshi Sueyoshi is a native of Tokyo, Japan and has lived in North Carolina since 1973. Hiroshi's pieces are known for their Japanese inspired shapes and glazes, which are also infused with a familiar American style. Hiroshi is currently an Artist in Residence at the Cameron Museum of Art  in Wilmington. 

Dina Wilde-Ramsing is a local artist who holds a degree in Anthropology, an influence still apparent in her pieces today. Even with this connection to traditions past, however, her works are unmistakably contemporary in design while still carrying the influences of geology, archeology, and history.

Hand Crafted will remain on display through August 18th.
