Mitali Chakraborty
Website: http://www.mitalichakraborty.com
As an artist, I especially value the experience of embodying perspective and emotion in a tactile, multidimensional object. I have always been able to see ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Throughout my life I have worked in a variety of media, including lacework by tatting, paint (I particularly love watercolor), photography and most recently glass. I discovered glass as a medium for self-expression in 2006, since then have experimented, and learnt the various disciplines of glass art. I live for art and anything creative is my food for sustenance.
Everything I create is original, unique, organic and nature inspired designs.
My belief : Nature provides inspiration you have to just keep your eyes open.

Laurie Goldman
Website: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MudlarkPottery
Laurie creates functional and art pottery for everyday use. She likes whimsy and warmth and makes simple pieces that express solid feeling. Her pieces are thrown on the wheel, and many are hand painted or hand carved using a decorative technique called sgraffito. The images she creates are inextricably tied to the rich experience of living here on the Cape for more than two decades. They express her love of the Bay and the marshes and dunes. They are intimately informed by the years she spent as a whale researcher and science and nature writer. Many others reflect the joy she takes in family life. The characters she draws represent family in the broadest sense—they are big and little people together, parents and children hugging each other, sharing, protecting each other. Sometimes the little ones are straining away from the big ones, wanting to head out in the opposite direction. Sometimes the big ones aren’t quite paying as much attention as they should. But always, there should be a warm connection somewhere. Her work can be found at the Jewelry Inspirations Gallery (276 Route 28 (corner of Church St.), West Dennis, MA 02670 508-619-4855) or on line at www,jewelryinspirationsworkshop.com
