Hummingbird Platter. David Ross, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Mica, a cooperative gallery of fine art and contemporary craft in Bakersville, continues to showcase the work of its members and invited guests on a rotating basis.<\/p>\n

October\u2019s special exhibition Mise en Place,<\/em> features the work of Speckled Dog Pottery\u2019s Robbie Bell. Bell is a chef and author of two cookbooks. His exhibit includes mixing bowls, baking dishes, plates, cups, platters and cake stands made of porcelaneous stoneware and electric-fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always hear that the ingredient should be honored in its preparation and presentation,\u201d says Bell. \u201cWhat better way to honor the humble tomato than to place it on a handcrafted plate?\u201d<\/p>\n

November\u2019s featured artist is woodturner Nathan Favors. Each of Favors\u2019 bowls, designed in collaboration with Mariella de Leeuw, is both sculptural and functional. His process includes studying the raw wood to determine how to best transform it into a piece of art while keeping its natural shape and lines intact as much as possible. Favors\u2019 work at Mica is primarily contemporary pieces with simple, elegant shapes and soft, light tones. Some works have live edges while other edges are cut. Semi-precious stones are often incorporated into the wood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the marriage between wood and stones,\u201d says Favors. \u201cIt adds a very unique look and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

In December, the gallery will feature holiday-themed work including cards, ornaments and handmade stocking stuffers. Guest artists are Pam Brewer (ceramic sculpture), Nita Ford (textiles), Katherine McCarty (painting), Carmen Grier (painting), Dan Essig (sculpture and books), Valerie Berlage (wood) and Stacey Lane (jewelry).<\/p>\n

In addition to the featured and guest artists, other Mica members with work on view are Vicki Essig, David Ross, Sondra Dorn, Fyreglas Studio, Lisa Joerling, Jean McLaughlin, Teresa Pietsch, Jenny Lou Sherburne, and Gay Smith.<\/p>\n

Mica is located at 37 Mitchell Avenue in Bakersville. For more information, call 828.688.6422 or visit MicaGalleryNC.com<\/a>. Follow the gallery on Facebook at Mica Gallery NC or on Instagram at MicaGalleryNC.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
