OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2011
Byrdcliffe is pleased to announce three new artisans in the shop on Tinker Street. Basil Bouris of Bearsville, who founded TRACE Furniture with his wife, Lana, hand carves beautifully sleek wood bud vases from locally harvested black walnut, spalted maple and red oak trees. Each vase is fitted with a 6 inch test tube which removes easily to fill with water and your flower stem. Prices $70 - $250.
Chorthip Lagnese, also of Bearsville, designs and fabricates stunning silver rings, bangle bracelets, charm necklaces, and cufflinks. Chorthip, who was born in Thailand, spent 4 years at Tiffany's in New York City as one of the key designers for the Frank Gehry Jewelry collection. Prices $25 - $250.
Young Mi Kim, who teaches hand building at Byrdcliffe's ceramics studio, creates the most exquisite vessels and bowls with hand building techniques. Some of her pieces have delicate drawings and carvings, and others are pit fired which creates a dramatic effect on the clay. Prices $40 - $250.
