New Ceramics

We've just received a few shipments for the newest ceramics in the Gift Gallery.  We thought you'd like a peek into the latest pieces to arrive...

Patty Bilbro's ceramics feature her fetching (and often grumpy) hand illustrated figures.

Erik Haagensen combines monsters and animals with cheeky quips for uniquely adorned mugs, shotglasses, and vases.

Luba Sharapan's pieces are colorful and whimsical, in perfect keeping with our Boise North End location.

We're thrilled with all the new work and are quite happy how well they fit in with the gallery's quirkiness.  What do you think?

Gallery changes

We've received some exciting parcels for the gallery in the past few days!

Below are the Gnome Be Gones we've included in the gallery shop.  They're from Sugarpost Metal, who design creatures and trinkets from leftover scrap metal.  They have some turtle friends in the gallery as well.

We also received the work for Kristian Adam's upcoming solo exhibition, 'A Woodland Recital.'  They're hiding for now, but they'll debut on Saturday, August 31st.  Or, if you come by the gallery and ask before August 31st, they might come out for a sneak peek.

We're also open for late hours this Friday and Saturday from 7 - 9 p.m., so stop by after dinner!  Have a great weekend!

Results!

We're starting to see results from our recent refurbishment!  The gallery has gotten a few new coats of paint, several new walls, and a couple of display cases.

We still have some more changes to make, but we're quite happy with the look so far.

What do you guys think?

New Gallery Shop

Brumfield's Gallery will be going through some exciting changes in the coming months!

Every business goes through change and the gallery is due for a little shake-up of sorts.  We've decided to add a new element to the space at the front: a gallery shop!

The new shop will feature items that we haven't yet featured in Brumfield's Gallery, such as jewelry and greeting cards.  The shop will also include more prints to choose from.

While we haven't settled on the entire collection for the new shop, we are very excited to announce that our first artist in Brumfield Gallery's shop will be Carolyn Morris Bach, a jewelry maker from Rhode Island.  We plan to feature her pieces in the gallery shop coming in September 2013.

Fox Shaman Pin/Pendant

Bach's pieces are simply gorgeous and feature delicate details and imagery from natural elements such as the sun, moon, and animals.  Each piece is hand crafted using an array of beautiful materials, such as wood, bone, metals, ivory, and stones.  The Fox Pin above is just one of the several pieces we will bring to the new shop.

Bach's jewelry has been collected widely across the US and internationally.  Her work has earned her recognition from several prestigious institutions including the Smithsonian Institution, the American Craft Museum, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Brumfield's Gallery is thrilled to feature Bach's work in the upcoming gallery shop.  Be sure to check in with us in the future to see how the changes are coming along!
