Marsha Hedrick Specialties: Porcelain Jewelry, Pottery, and Sculpture Tribe: ChoctawMarsha's Human Effigy Water Bottle show here won 1st place in the Pottery Miniatures Division at the 2010 Heard Museum Indian Market. This little pot is typical of the sort of pottery that Marsha likes to do best. Standing only about 1 1/2 inches tall he is truly a miniature work of art.
Marsha's native artwork includes both ancient and modern American Indian shapes, symbols and designs. From a very young age she has been very interested in her native heritage and for many years has been anxious to bring that heritage to her artwork. She has been working in porcelain for over 20 years and has been recognized as a Fellow by the International Guild of Miniature Artisans. It is this skill with miniatures and attention to detail that have made her native style jewelry so interesting and unique. She has also done some silver and lapidary work in the past. She brings all of these skills to her jewelry making in some cases combining the exquisite hand painted porcelain with silver and stone. The term wearable art is well suited to the jewelry Marsha makes. The hand painted animal portraits are as detailed as many large pieces you will see. Her attention to detail and unique vision for her jewelry result in unusual and lovely pieces of miniature art that are sure to become heirlooms.
Marsha also makes some pottery utilizing both porcelain and terracotta clays. Marsha likes to make both contemporary pottery pieces and reproductions of the ancient mound builder's unique pottery designs.
Soon more of her pottery will be available on her website. For a preview please visit her blog Marsha's Porcelain ArtWebsite: Click to visit the artist's website |
