Venue
Asher Gallery At Houston Center for Contemporary Craft
Address
4848 Main Street, Houston, Texas, 77002

Please join us on Saturday, December 21th, 11 AM – 3 PM, for a casual event featuring popular jeweler Amber Tiemann and humorous ceramic sculptor Jason Kishell. Both artists are well known in the Houston area, and the Asher Gallery has represented each for many years.

Amber Tiemann (11:00 am to 1:00 pm)
Amber Tiemann has long been a go-to artist for fun and fashionable jewelry. She explains where she finds her signature look: “Design inspiration comes to me in so many different ways. Sometimes it’s from architecture and the clean graphic lines of industrial design. And I am always inspired by the different variety of artists around me.”

Jason Kishell (1:00 pm to 3:00 pm)
His mugs have earned him the right to be smug, but Jason Kishell is not only looking for humor. He addresses the way things grow, live, receive support from the environment, decay, and ultimately start again. These features are the source of his visual vocabulary.
