The exhibition will feature glass face jugs by Michael Hatch, wooden landscapes by Valerie Berlage, jewelry by Joseph Rhodes, utilitarian pottery by Barry Rhodes and leather pieces by Joanna Warren.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI rely on glassworking knowledge that was produced over the past 5,000 years to make my work,\u201d says Hatch, \u201cespecially the techniques developed by Venetian glassworkers over the past several centuries. In my work, I blend this historical technical knowledge with the free-wheeling, \u2018anything goes\u2019 philosophy of the early American Studio Glass Movement to design and create objects that are unique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berlage says that texture is an integral part of her aesthetic and design process. \u201cWood is a very tactile medium, and while each species has its own inherent texture to begin with, I often love to add another layer or two,\u201d she says. \u201cDimpling the wood with a ball peen hammer, creating a rippling texture on the edge sander, leaving the linear ridges from the bandsaw, opening up the grain with a wire brush, or sanding it smooth as glass\u2014I love adding a mix to create interest and movement in my work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, texture plays a major role in the design of Rhodes\u2019 pottery pieces. \u201cFrom the maker with their hands in the clay to the person holding the finished work, texture pervades the entire life cycle of the piece,\u201d he says. \u201cThe pieces I have created for the exhibition put an increased emphasis on surface texture, going beyond what one would typically see in my work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Folk Art Center is located at milepost 382 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
