At Habitar Design ceramics and pottery rank highly among our favorite decorating accessories. Art fairs are a great place to make unique finds while enjoying a great summer day. Chicago has a wide variety of shows throughout the summer and each show has its own character and multitude of offerings. For me, the season begins in historic Hyde Park. The show is a mix of artisan’s and fine artists almost all willing to discuss their work, process, and whatever else crosses their mind.
I was impressed with a number of ceramic artists this year and though there were many more than I’ll mention here, here are three that caught my eye.
Paul Eshelman’s pieces had a clean, light-hearted and distinct style. His work is available at www.EshelmanPottery.com:
Natalia Sot (NataliaSots.etsy.com) combined of ceramic artistry, precise glaze work and fantasy to create extraordinary pieces that possessed a feeling of life:
Finally, Mark William of Blue Star Pottery (bluecoastartists.com) used leaves to imprint earth-tone glazes to create bowls with the beauty of a new fallen bed of leaves. His other pieces captured the rhythmic lines of nature as if formed from sea anemones.
Those who missed the Hyde Park art fair this summer can expect to see some great art at the Old Town Art Fair this coming weekend.
