Betsy Baker, Stonehouse Studio-- Betsy hand
fabricates one of a kind and limited edition
contemporary art jewelry in her Boston studio.
She works primarily in polymer, a synthetic
low fire clay that is remarkably versatile
and colorful. Her polymer work incorporates
a variety of mixed media surface techniques,
including alcohol inks, acrylic paint, silkscreening
and image transfers. She complements the
polymer with hand forged fine and sterling
silver that adds dimension and textural contrast
to her pieces.
Stonehouse Studio jewelry has a serene feel,
achieving a zen-like balance of pattern,
color and shape.
The distinctlty asymmetric and organic pieces
are simple, elegant and very wearable.

Linda Huey -All of my vases, bowls, and platters are one-of-a-kind, made for food and flowers.
In this work, I try to convey energy and potential
growth: forces of nature in a clay garden of
functional forms expressed in buds, blossoms,
and leaves. This source of inspiration is similar
to what influenced early 20th century American
Art Pottery, and appeals to those who love nature,
gardening, or arranging flowers.

Mary Madarino--t he three weavers who weave together as the Danforth Weavers met while attending
class at the Danforth Museum School in Framingham. We have been weaving individually
and together for more than 20 years. Each of us brings a different color sense
and style to our work and when our articles are put together in a display,
you see the richness of color and design. Many of the scarves, ponchos and
shawls that we weave start with hand-dyed yarn that we dye ourselves. Most
of what we weave is made from wool, silk, Tencel, Rayon, or Bamboo. 2010 is
our fifth year exhibiting in the local area under the name Danforth Weavers.
Prior to 2005, we individually marketed our hand woven articles at various
Arts and Craft venues and at the annual Weavers Guild of Boston Sale held in
Weston during the first weekend of November.
