Artist Statement
My work is driven by the idea of how smaller units or building blocks of objects or forms are not considered to be an integral part of the beauty of an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Growth and structure must be acknowledged. If microscopic building blocks were non-existent, the object would not be tangible. Many individuals are too busy to stop and look around closely at their surroundings. It is the little details that come together to create something beautiful that get overlooked. In order to appreciate beauty, one must acknowledge everything that has created it. I wish to draw the viewer close to my work and point their attention to the fascination of the intricate process of how a form is created.

Brigitte Martin said… - Hello Kyleigh,
Welcome to crafthaus, the network for fine craft artists and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us! Your crafthaus membership is valid through February 15, 2013.
Please look around and add your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussions. Crafthaus is a participatory sport!
Please note that ALL images sent to the website editor are vetted to assure a measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Our members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the photos have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light. From the many images received daily, we aim to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however, with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect!
If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime, I will do my best to be of help.
I hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.
Again: Welcome !
Brigitte Martin
Crafthaus Editor
Deadline to apply: August 15, 2013

Interviewing NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson
NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson makes us think about ceramic materials in a new and dynamic way. Her installation, site specific, fired and unfired work all has an emphasis on time, material and transformation. Linda generously shared her time and thoughts with me about her current studio practice and the path that has led her there. I hope you enjoy this interview with Linda Swanson.

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately
- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient
For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker.
Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
New: Indiegogo Campaign to bring US jewelry to Europe!
Please support this effort:
A group of 10 young US jewelry artists will attend Sierrad this Fall showing their work to the European market - and bringing back exciting info for all of us!
Share. Support. Contribute. Thanks!!
