Pottery- Cassandra Weare

    Cassandra Weare is a Massachusetts potter who is new to Harvest Gold Gallery. She had an interest in pottery, but for years it was pushed under the rug until she decided to try again. It had been the missing piece in her life and now she has her own studio. All of her pieces are designed and hand thrown in her little studio on Cape Cod. Cassandra enjoys experimenting with her pottery- wether that be the glazes, color, form or techniques. She is passionate about learning. Her goal is to create things that make her happy, as well as the customer, specially when the product becomes something used everyday. To see Cassandra's pottery for yourself, come on into Harvest Gold Gallery.

"I hope a new home for your favorite plant or starting the day with some fresh fruit in one of my berry bowls sends some happiness your way!"

Glass Artist Shawn Messenger
    Shawn Messenger was one of the first women to receive a BFA in glass from Cleveland Institute of Art. She also attended Pilchuck Glass School, studying under Dale Chihuly and Italo Scanga and Penland School of Crafts with a focus on murrini. This is was a shape or pattern, such a flower, is crafted out of glass and made into a glass cane. So when you cut a cross section out of the glass, the pattern of a flower is shown. Parts of the cane art added to blown glass. The vase below is a beautiful example of how Shawn uses murrini in her work.

   "My work has been greatly influenced by my love of nature and the wonders it has to offer us. I have tried to incorporate my fondness for flowers and gardens with glass to create an impressionistic vision of the landscape. For me, the flowers are small worlds filled with colors and shapes that produce incredible beauty. The glass murrinis in my work represent the flower. These flowers together become a field of color floating between grasses and stones. This is much like a millefiore, a million flowers. My intention is to evoke a feeling of serenity and solitude, an homage to nature."
