Coastal Triptych
Using hand-carved linoleum blocks, Yoshiko Yamamoto of The Arts & Crafts Press created the triptych block print, “Colvos Passage,” on her antique printing press. The three-panel print depicts a view of Vashon Island from the Kitsap Peninsula across Colvos Passage. Limited to 240 signed and numbered impressions, this print showcases the technique and aesthetic Yamamoto has developed from her study of works from the Arts and Crafts movement and traditional Japanese block printing.

Think Small
Jemerick Art Pottery’s Steve Frederick has introduced a new Small Geometrics series with a new glaze and a clay body that allows him to spontaneously draw on the clay to communicate a special freshness and vitality. His wife and partner, Cherie Jemsek, has also introduced new, smaller, more accessible pieces. Her series of Small Florals pots carry individual names reflective of their inspiration: Dogwood, Trout Lily, Magnolia, Bleeding Heart, Laurel. Each artist’s pieces are thrown and sculpted in stoneware clay. Sizes vary but are generally 6˝–8˝ high.

Prairie Reflections and Southwest Dreams
The Persian Carpet’s distinctive new lines include the Arts & Crafts Stained Glass Window Collection and the Dreamcatcher collection. Handspun Stained Glass rugs simulate sunlight through a window, reflecting the Prairie Style glass artistry found in catalogs from 1890 to 1910. The Dreamcatcher Collection from Southwest Looms—a new division of The Persian Carpet—reproduces the texture, weave and look of the Navajo hand-woven rug. The new rugs are available in standard sizes ranging from 3 x 5 to 12 x 16 feet, in oversize and custom sizes, and as runners.

Reclaiming Our Past
Between 1900 and 1940, nearly four billion American Chestnut trees— one in every four hardwood trees in the U.S.—were wiped out by the Asian Bark Fungus. Head, Heart, and Hand, in conjunction with Montana Reclaimed Lumber, has recently found and purchased enough pre-blight American Chestnut to offer three classic Gustav Stickley Morris Chairs—Eastwood, Bow Arm and Paddle Arm—in limited editions of ten each. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to the American Chestnut Foundation.
