I am really excited to share a new find with you! Mr. H and I spent Saturday afternoon visiting art galleries in the Santa Fe Art District here in Denver. We stopped in a gallery called Artists on Santa Fe which is a gallery as well as a studio for artists. In the basement we found Jesse Woodworth's ceramics studio which is where I found these small light blue mason jars. I love mason jars and the color caught my attention right away. I've been wanting to add flowers to my fireplace mantel. They were the perfect color for my living room.
I was intrigued by these. How were they made? Were they glass painted blue on the inside, or glass covered in ceramic, or ceramic made to look like mason jars? Lucky for me, Jesse was there so I got to ask him myself.
Before we said good-bye to him, I asked Jesse if he could make a larger mason jar in the light blue and he said he could. Can't wait to see it! If you'd like to see more of Jesse's work or order from him, visit his website at www.jessewoodworth.com.

In these photos Jesse is cutting and pressing the clay that will later become ceramic plates. |

Those Mason Jars are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI think these are absolutely beautiful - and all his work is quite amazing. I love to see young artisans creating something out of the ordinary - Jesse certainly is doing this. I don't see the Mason jars listed for sale but I could e-mail him I suppose. I love how yours look on the mantel - great find! I'm looking at my collection of vintage glass jars - pretty of course - but the ceramic ones are a step up and will be a bit more elegant for areas other than the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteBTW - looked back at your French lemonade bottles which look lovely in the window. I recently bought the same thing - they had them at World Market. Haven't opened mine yet but once I do I will be keeping the bottle - well that's actually why I bought it, to use as a vase!
Thanks for stopping by and wishing me well - doing better after resting this weekend and getting some good sleep at night!
Happy week - Mary
Hi Khammany,
ReplyDeleteAren't you the savvy stylist?!;) Your ceramic mason jars are beautiful and they look perfectly at home on that warm wooden mantel, against the cool blue hues of the painting behind it. Thanks for all the great info on Jesse Woodworth, who, by the way, looks like a sweetheart and a hard worker! Enjoyed this gorgeous post!

How fun! I love finding new artists and artisans…I usually try to find one while on trips and get a piece of pottery, etc.. to remind me of the place we were in. Loved the mason jars and loved the color as well!
