First Thursday artists: Jewelry and Garden Stones

Meet December Featured Artists: 

Liz Lyell (Jewelry)

Terri Goodwin (Garden Stones)

December 3 - 4:00 - 8:00pm (open house)

Garden Essentia presents two terrific artists this month. Their one of a kind pieces will be on display in the gallery throughout December.

Work by Liz Lyell

Liz Lyell

Liz Lyell, based in Edmonds, has been making jewelry for many years, and in business full time as PS, NorthWest since 2002. She has store accounts in the greater Seattle area (including 3 years at the Seattle Art Museum), and says about her work, "I have always loved gemstones, wondered about their energies, and making jewelry for me is a way to make this energy available in a small personal form. People have said my jewelry is both rustic and fine ... a combination of earthy, delicate, muted, and shiny, all rolled into one!"

Materials used are semi-precious and precious stones, pearls, Czech limited edition glass, sterling (.925) and fine (.999) silver. All the silver work is hand shaped, forged, and fused. Liz will be bringing an array of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and trinkets (many great gift items). 

Art by Terri Goodwin

Terri Goodwin 

After earning a BA in Design from UCLA, Terri Goodwin spent her early career as a graphic designer for small companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle. In 1999, an interest in mosaic led to the desire to make ceramic tile by hand. Current work combines her handmade tiles with concrete to create decorative garden stones, wall hangings and sculpture suitable for the home and garden.

Garden Essentia is located in Ballinger Village, next to Thriftway on Ballinger Way, just east of I-5. 206-453-3920.
