Stranded Glass Jewelry by Gail Crozier

This month we are excited to add Gail Crozier’s gorgeous handmade jewelry to the Brooke Pottery shop . This Missouri artist creates her own lampwork glass beads and sterling silver elements, infusing her Stranded Glass Jewelry with personality. The style may appear simple, but Gail’s use of bright color, interesting shapes and unique wire work results in jewelry that makes a bold statement and always gets noticed. The Puzzle Link Collection (bracelet pictured above, left) combines intricately coiled sterling silver wire with vibrant glass disk beads rimmed with black and white stripes. Truly a work of wearable art! And no less fun to wear is the Ring Charm Collection. Ring Charm bracelets and necklaces practically *DANCE* with color. Very pretty! Browse our online jewelry shop –> to see more incredible designs by Stranded Glass.

Artful Time Pieces by David Scherer

New arrivals in the shop this week include six new sculptural clocks by Michigan artist David Scherer. Explosive in color (and sometimes even form) these new artful time pieces are truly wonderful!

Well known for his 3-D paintings, David Scherer works in a variety of mediums and brings an intriguing, distinctive style and vibrancy to all of his art. Scherer attributes his unique direction to the expansion of his cumulative experience of more than 30 years as an artist. His sculptural wall clocks are energetic and complex, yet David modestly states “I am what I am, I do what I do”. And we love it! Shop online for David Scherer clocks at brookepottery.com.
