The Art of Crystalline Glazing by Adam Egenolf
Beginning on Friday, June 29th, The Venue Fine Art & Gifts will host its new collection of the unique Crystalline Glazed Ceramic Creations of Adam Egenolf. Adam, who holds a Masters Degree in Fine Arts, has mastered the art of the Crystalline Glazing.
This rare and delicate creative process begins with Adam’s hand-crafted clay bodies, which he makes from the purest porcelain. Then a delicately chemically balanced glaze is applied to the surface of each piece and fired at 2300 degrees f. The kiln is quickly cooled, allowing crystals to form and grow, while the glaze drips down the side of the clay body. In Adam’s skilled hands, the results are coffee mugs, pinch mugs, vases, trays and bowls that are colorful and breathtakingly beautiful. The crystals are holographic, and Adams shapes are honed to perfection. Adam’s creations are all one-of-a kind, and although they appear to be delicate, are all oven and dishwasher safe. They are rich, yet affordable.
The Venue's complete collection of Fine Art and Gifts will also be on display for viewing and purchase. Parking is available in the lot on the corner of 4th and Grant.
This show will run at The Venue until July 12th.
