We invite you to relish some new works + enjoy a night on the town
Mineral Point Gallery Nights are back for the second time this year.
This month, we're celebrating and highlighting a few different people and lines. Some are new to us (hello, all the jewelry shown below) and some we've long carried but have recently been restocked anew and plumped back up for the upcoming fall season.
Please enjoy!
calming + serene
Oil & Cold Wax Medium Original Art
by Gina Hecht
Paintings reflect nature, with edges and focus softened to create an ethereal feeling.
Gina uses many layers and textures to create a story within her work where high value is placed on depth and form + light and shadow. She achieves both with careful choices using color and focus, as well as the interplay of transparent and opaque paint in the many different thick and thin layers.
Light & Colorful
Architectural Earrings
Lightweight leather + birch statement earrings inspired by clean lines, the art deco movement, and the architectural details of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Simple & Stunning
Earring + Necklace Sets
Welded accents on hammered metal are brightly polished to accentuate hammered detail. Each piece is polished to a bright sheen, but the crevices and dents are left intentionally dark, to highlight the delicate hammered textures. Ear wires are always sterling silver.
Visual & emotional
Thoughtful + Eco Friendly Earrings
Earrings feature mixed metals using etching, stamping, and a homemade eco-friendly patina that adds unique pop of color to the finished pieces. The goal is to visually connect with someone while using a production process that will leave an environmental "footprint" as small possible.
tiny + cute
Friends You Can Hug For a Lifetime!
The philosophy behind these little friends is a well-made, adorable toy that will last.
The designer says, “We believe children thrive with simpler toys rather than plastic. Fewer, better made toys open their minds to new stories and innovative ways to play which will serve them well thru life.”
These toys are shared, cherished and played with by children of all ages, and handed down for generations.
Bright & Colorful
Hanging Drops + Orbs
Glass designed by a husband and wife team in Massachusetts, working together since 1991, to create a line of colorful, functional, blown glass items that bring art to everyday life! He does all the blowing and she handles all aspects of running a busy production glass studio without standing in front of a two thousand degree furnace!
fun & funky
Animal Sculptures
Unique animal sculptures + functional pieces (think: salt & pepper sets) handmade in Kentucky from scrap and reject material. Each piece is full of personality.
