From the marine debris collection I give you: a child’s shovel handle, cast in porcelain. An abstract form, a remnant of an industrial design, and also a memento of a lived experience with a story to tell. I get a lot of joy out of making connections through abstraction and see it as reminiscent of some lost language, some haptic element that speaks to something deep in our human design. Also it’s a pretty shape that works well as a necklace pendant.

Tried my hand at painting today at Brewster Conservation Day! I was non-stop face painting with every kid as adorable as the next and it was such a joy! I also painted one of the BCD trees on display with the theme: “Trees: Superhero’s of the natural world”. I used a camouflage motif to question the notion that trees are often seen as merely something to blend into, while the lungs point out a most obvious way trees help us. Can you see the hidden animals in the camouflage? 🤗 So many great people came together for a really nice event today! Thanks to all involved! .conservation.trust .ponds.coalition

This morning it was like the sky and the sea merged, compressing and expanding space together. Illusions are fascinating to me and when I see things that don’t fit expectations, like a barely there horizon line, the world seems to open up.

Piper Laine Studio

Founded by artist Kate Doody, Piper Laine Studio creates elegant porcelain jewelry cast from treasures found on the beaches of Cape Cod. Kate has found inspiration from her everyday experiences and sought to bring them to life in her series entitled: “Maggie’s Shells”. Taking its name from the famed E.E. Cummings poem: “maggie and milly and molly and may”, Kate sentimentally connects this work to the nostalgia in both the poem and her childhood experiences of exploring the New England shorelines while vacationing with her family. Now that she lives here in Brewster with her own children, she is fortunate to regularly partake in this ritual familiar to most anyone who visits the beautiful beaches of Cape Cod. She combs the beach to discover unique treasures, washed and weathered by sun, wind, water and sand. A gift from the ocean, each distinct shell represents a moment in time and a memory of our shared experiences re-discovering ourselves in the relics of the sea.

Kate’s collection of shells are carefully curated and a preferred few are cast in fine porcelain. Each shell is meticulously refined by hand and transformed by heat to give it strength and to adhere the precious 22 karat gold luster. Pieces are completed using all high quality sterling silver or 14 karat gold filled components, creating sophisticated jewelry. Elegant enough for special occasions yet familiar enough for everyday, Kate hopes you will enjoy wearing “Maggie’s Shells” and maybe even carry within them your own memories of time spend on Cape Cod.

Biography:

Kate Doody has twenty years of experience as a professional artist and teacher and holds a Bachelors Degree from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and a Masters degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has taught art to all ages at numerous higher education and community arts institutions across the country and has exhibited her work widely as well. She co-authored the book “Glaze: The Ultimate Ceramic Artists Guide to Glaze and Color” with her potter husband, Brian Taylor. Kate’s artwork typically incorporates ceramic components and explores the human sensorium, emotional meaning, and transformation. Piper Laine Studio is her latest creative endeavor which she pursues from her home studio in Brewster on Cape Cod, where she lives with Brian and their two young daughters.
