This Month Online:
Roger and Sue Bisaillon |
 |
|
Roger and Sue Bisaillon have run their business, Blue Moon Carvers, since 1982 in the foothills of Maine. The couple are also full-time teachers. Roger teaches art and Sue works with special needs children. The Bisaillons exhibit their one-of-a-kind work at high-end retail shows throughout the New England area, and a few galleries. Based in art nouveau and deco traditions, the boldly colored pieces have a contemporary feel. Each work is created by hand using all clay techniques (throwing, pinch, slab, etc.) and meticulously carved. Some pieces are fired as many as four times. Roger and Sue say that feedback from customers is instrumental in keeping the work fresh. Find out more about the Bisaillons, their work and their business this month in our online exclusive. |

On the Cover: A Raku fired piece by Bob Reiberg, of Reiberg Ceramics, in Indianapolis, Ind. The piece is 13 inches tall, with the black being unglazed and burnished, colored by the smoke during reduction. The background glaze is a copper-based glaze that Reiberg makes, and the red is a commercial low-fire Duncan gloss glaze. Reiberg sells his work at a number of Midwestern art fairs. He can be reached at: reiberg@aol.com.
