 Though Christmas is still seven months away, every day feels like it brings a little pre-holiday thrill as we open new packaged orders almost daily!

Today, at the gallery, we carefully unwrapped a returning favorite at the gallery, Smyers hand-blown glass clocks. Stephen Smyers is one of the true innovators of the contemporary  glass movement. Smyers award-winning designs are represented in the permanent collection of the Corning Museum of Glass and in numerous private collections.

 Renowned for his blend of artful innovation and classic appeal, a myers timeless collection of award-winning designs have placed his company of the vanguard of contemporary glass studios. In the creative atmosphere of his studio, where Smyers and his assistants mouth blow and hand finish each piece individually, glassware of lasting beauty and style is created with impeccable quality and craftsmanship.

 Each creation of Smyers Glass is hand signed with Smyers signature that ensures it's authenticity.
 So, as a gentle rhythm of ticking floats through the gallery, we welcome another year of enjoying having such fine art and talent displayed here at Harvest Gold Gallery.

So, stop in and join in our daily thrills as we prepare for another great season and new artists to make this year even better than years past!  Located on Kezar Lake overlooking the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  Open daily.  Call ahead (207) 925-6502 or visit us on the web at harvestgoldgallery.com

Award Winning American Woodworker Now Showing at Harvest Gold Gallery

We are always excited to share with you, in some detail, the artists that we have show cased at the gallery, especially when they are from our own home state like Rob Jones, our featured artist of the week. Rob Jones is an award winning American Woodworker from Thomaston, Maine. He began his art by building, with assistance, his first banjo, an instrument that had always held an interest for him. Since then, he has built several instruments including banjos, a French horn, trombones, and a trumpet. His musical instruments are played by music professors. He entered his lobster carving in the Maine Sportsman Show and he won the People's Choice award and was hooked from that point on. To view some of his works visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqWRsRDDb1M

At the gallery, we are delighted to have a sample of his very unique bowls, Baltic by Design. They come in four different sizes from small for a candle holder to large enough to be a center piece with fruit. With the wedding season upon us or Father's Day right around the corner, these would made a fabulous and timeless gift. Stop by any day!

Paul Bendzunas Fine Glass Artist with Organic Flair

Aqua Frog

Here at Harvest Gold we are always thrilled when new items and pieces come in for us to place around the gallery. One of our favorite returning glass artists is Paul Bendzunas. Paul's obvious love of nature and it's soothing palette, will delight anyone when they see his fine, hand-blown vases that are themed around nature.

Green Frog

Combining traditional design elements with contemporary influences, Bendzunas has evolved an unusual style based primarily on natural and organic forms. His surface patterns involve animal and aquatic imagery. He achieves this effect by using colored enamels – the same crushed glass powders used in cloisonné jewelry – and precious metals, in combination with bits of crushed glass. He achieves distinctive colors using various formulations of metallic oxides such as gold, silver, cobalt and others, blended into the molten glass. Using classic glassblowing techniques that are thousands of years old, Bendzunas works the glass at temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees F. He forms and shapes each piece individually, without the use of molds. Each piece is one of a kind and is signed and dated.
His work is included in numerous public and private collections, including those of the Westinghouse Corporation, R.J. Reynolds Corporation and the State of Georgia Council for the Arts and Humanities. He has exhibited his work at galleries, museums and juried shows throughout the United States.
