Join us for our first Trunk Show! For First Friday in June, Robin Van Horne will be joining us direct from Atlanta, Georgia to share her new designs! Robin works with Art Clay Silver or precious metal which is comprised of recycled/reclaimed silver sources. She uses found objects and plants to create her molds and the unique pieces she produces.

Robin holds a B.A. form William Smith College, an M.A.T. from Emory University, and became a certified instructor in Art Clay Silver in 2013.

We are so happy to have the work of Sam Davis for May & June! We are showing a collection of his tin types and other works. Come check it out!  Originally from Pensacola, Florida Sam Davis received his BFA from the University of Florida in Creative Photography and an MFA in Photography and Sculpture from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.  Sam creates images that reference his love of family history (his father had once been a participant in an atomic test during the 1950’s, while other family members worked on the first submarines during the civil war) coupled with a playful curiosity of popular and kitsch culture. His images combine obscure technology, science fiction and childhood fantasy to call into question notions regarding memory, nostalgia, imagination and pulp/cyber folklore. Davis creates images that he hopes will cause the viewer to pause and question while at the same time provide a pathway for the viewer into another frame of thought-to proactively imagine...

Black Net ,  2014  I'm so happy to have Jody Mussoff as our featured artist this month! Jody is a well established and prolific artist, concentrating on drawing and ceramics. She's been showing her work since the mid-70's and has a pretty impressive resume - her work is in the public collections of the  Corcoran Gallery of Art,  Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and  Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, DC to name a few.   I fell in love with her work immediately after seeing it at Gathered in Front Royal, VA. Her work is fun, whimsical, expertly executed, thoughtful and clever. Although, she considers herself as retired, she continues to crank out work in her home studio and keeps Tin Top stocked with her original drawings, prints, cards and ceramics. Read on to learn more about her. And be sure to come into Tin Top Art and Handmade!  _______________________________________________________________________ When did you decid...
