BOB LEATHERBARROW

Three Red Shrimp Fish Sushi Dish
Glass 10 x 5
$250

Blending artistry and purpose, Bob’s latest sushi dishes draw inspiration from the graceful forms and patterns of fish from around the globe. Each piece is brought to life through a distinctive process: linocut patterns are pressed into glass powder, kiln-fired at low temperatures, then intricately detailed by hand with layers of transparent powders, enamels, micas, lustres, and shimmering dichro extract flakes.

Red Wonky Bowl
Glass 8 x 7 x 3.5
$250

Following the enthusiastic response to Bob’s ‘Wonky’ bowls last month, two new additions have just arrived. Slightly more medium in scale, these latest pieces maintain the series’ signature sense of movement and asymmetry, continuing Bob’s playful exploration of form in glass.

CAROLYN HOUG

Royal Voyage
Ceramic 16 x 16 x 8

Sailing to Narnia
Ceramic 14.5 x 10.5 x 5
$600

My sculptures are playful and quirky and often place subjects in unlikely situations. Birds are riding when they can fly; polar bears sailing when they can swim. Many of my characters act against their usual instincts; sweet lions and fierce rabbits. All are meant to have us pause and consider all we have in common with our fellow creatures. – Carolyn Houg
