Redware in 1/12 scale by Jane Graber, accented by furniture and accessories made by family and friends (also for sale!).
If you’ve ever seen Jane Graber’s display at a miniature show you know the word ‘Gallery’ is a perfect description. Jane’s display looks a bit like a bookcase on who’s shelves are set up the most visually enticing little scenes. Pieces of rustic furniture (also for sale) provide the backdrop for arrangements of her wonderful stoneware and redware pottery. Other little accessories made by friends and family accent the displays and provide further temptation for shoppers. It is a rare show, that I don’t walk away from Jane’s table without purchasing something.
For a bit of a change, Jane will employ a salt-glaze and wood firing on some pieces for very charming but less predictable results.
Jane, an Artisan member of IGMA, is one of the artists that we are very happy to have as a dealer at the 35th Anniversary Guild Show this August. Scheduling conflicts and a major move in 2013 have kept her from our salesroom in recent years, but she’ll be back this year, and I am already wondering what treasures I might find.
Jane’s very reasonably priced pieces have made her one of the more popular dealers, almost
Three pieces of redware decorated in different ways, graffito, slipware and the platter in the back is done with a marble effect glaze.
everyone can afford something of hers. But, like many artists, Jane doesn’t stop exploring her craft and is willing to entertain special requests. A couple of shows back I discovered a couple of barber’s bowls on her table, a little excess production from a special request she’d been working on. If you’re lucky, she’ll have some of her beautiful salt-glazed pieces available, or even a few Arts and Crafts style vases and bowls in lovely shades of green.
I am an Igma member. I need help. I sm trying to find peter mattinson, who made beautiful models decades ago. Can anyone help me ?
