Thursday, May 9 from 6-9pm we welcome Amy Huber for an opening reception on West Seattle Art Walk. Amy has two collections of new work, both very intriguing conceptually while also accessible and affordable.

The bulk of this show, Organically Controlled, focuses on a series of diptychs Amy created with ink and paper as a sketchbook experiment. Each original illustration seeped ink through to the paper behind it, which became the start of the second drawing. The relationship is apparent but not obvious:

Amy is also bringing a delightful collection of small "stress paintings". These pieces originated from the forms Amy would sketch while working (as a graphic designer at Nordstrom). The patterns proved strong enough for Amy to paint them on canvases and other media. Her strong design sense comes through in these bold, beautiful works.

ArtWalk is second Thursday from 6 to 9pm. See the walking map here.

what  •  the introduction of Click!'s comprehensive collection of Konzuk engagement rings and wedding bands  •  the launch of Orbis, Karen Konzuk's new line of concrete and gold jewelry  •  the opportunity to meet the artist!

when  •  Saturday May 4th, 11am to 5pm (RSVP on our Facebook event page)

why  •  because this is Design That Fits

Although we have retired our own line of concrete jewelry, we do have a soft spot for the material. It therefore makes us extremely happy to be hosting the launch of Karen Konzuk's Orbis collection.

Combining steel, cast concrete orbs in incrementally varying greys, and forged spheres of bright gold, Karen has created an absolutely stunning collection of work.

Come by to meet Karen and have a sip of bubbly with us. If you're in the market for a unique piece of jewelry that will last a lifetime... you can have your rings sized by the artist!

Save the Date for a day long Launch Event at Click! with Canadian jewelry designer Karen Konzuk.

Along with her current collection of steel, silver, platinum, diamond and concrete wedding jewels, Karen will be in store doing an exclusive debut of her new gold and concrete collection. Check out her thoughts on why concrete is such a meaningful material in commitment jewelry and mark your calendar for May 4, 11 to 5pm at Click!

If you aren't able to make it to the launch, stop in during Click! hours and we'll give you a tour of her fabulous work.

Have you ever seen Metalpoint drawing? It's an ancient and mesmerizing technique that our own Sarah Loertscher has been working with since her Core Fellowship days at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina.

Sarah will be at Click! for Art Walk this Thursday. Stop by for a tour of these amazing drawings rendered with metal. Her jewelry case will certainly be well displayed for the occasion if you prefer to adorn yourself rather than your walls. And don't forget to ask her about her further adventures in the world of fashion. She has 2 runway shows under her belt after recently adorning Angel Sanchez's Fall collection during NY Fashion Week with her big, bold, geometrical jewelry creations.

We'll have snax and bevs and of course you know that many of the Junction restaurants have great happy hour deals both before and after Art Walk -  so stick around!

You've likely seen her graceful wire birds sailing through the upper altitudes at Click! As our featured artist in January and February, she has turned her gaze homeward. Using her favorite medium, steel wire, she has created drawings of furniture...

...and constructed one of a kind wire lighting dubbed the Circus Collection. We just installed the show and it is well worth a trip out in the cold for the West Seattle Artwalk tomorrow. Shelli will be in attendance and we'll have snacks and sips to welcome you.
