FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ALEX MARSHALL CERAMICS SHOW AT TABLE MATTERS ON FRIDAY
MOUNTAIN BROOK , Alabama, 10/26/2011 -
Alex Marshall will be crossing the USA, leaving her olive orchard in California and heading to Table Matters on Friday, October 25 for her 1st Trunk Show ever in the southern states! Alex Marshall’s ceramics can be described as beautifully functional sculpture. Many have referred to her work as organic — an elegant mixture of art and chance. "I wanted to design a line which maintains the intent and authenticity of the individually handcrafted piece," says Alex. "Each piece retains its own integrity, seen in the slight asymmetry, while remaining a clean modern form." When stacked, her plates resemble layers of rock or the gentle lines of a palm frond.
Marshall, who studied painting and ceramics sculpture at Skidmore College and received her MFA in conceptual art from the San Francisco Art Institute, designs and produces dinnerware and ceramics with an authenticity to both beauty and function. Her collections cannot be described as either formal or casual dining — it’s artful dining.
Marshall is also a strong supporter of all things green - believing that longevity is Green. As a design company, They are encouraged by the increasing number of smart solutions to improve the planet. Not all of their designs fit into every category of ecological perfection, but there is one aspect of "green" that's true for everything they produce: longevity. When something is made to last, you don't have to buy it again, which decreases the impact on natural resources and keeps waste out of landfills. In addition, all of their ceramics and glazes are made in Northern California by Alex and her husband, Andrew, which means less fuel consumption and production consumption.
Table Matters, located in the heart of Mountain Brook village, is a one of a kind retail and service business that offers a wide array of table-top furnishings.
