For Immediate Release:
Artifact is proud to present a new exhibition of its alumni members Luke Padgett and Shane Darwent.
Having helped start the studio and showspace in the fall of 2011, Darwent and Padgett left Artifact after 1 year to pursue other ventures. They have both since returned to Chattanooga and will present an exhibition of this past year’s gleanings. Darwent will show a portion of his traveling solo exhibition, Coming Soon, which explores America’s post-recession landscape through photography, painting, sculpture, and found object installation. Since leaving Artifact, Padgett has been an active freelance filmmaker and will be screening a new short film about current Artifact artist, Eric Smith. He will also be presenting his latest non-fiction project Towering Waves, which explores the dizzying complexity of communication from the point of view of the cellular tower workers that make it all possible. Merriment to follow with live, acoustic music by both traveling and local musicians.
Artifact Presents:
“Alumni” new works by former members, Luke Padgett and Shane Darwent
Opening Reception from 5 – 8 p.m.
Short Film Screening at 8 p.m.
Live music to follow

MOTHER’S DAY 2NDS SALE!!!
Don’t know what you get your mama for Mother’s Day this year? Well come on down to Artifact, cus we have deals that you can’t beat!
What the what we gonna do w all dis?!?!
Anderson and Jessie are trying to make a little breathing room in the studio, and perhaps make a little money back from the blood, sweat, and tears they lost via the creative/experimental process. Much of the work is not defective in any way, it might be a glaze they tried out, or a different clay or shape they no longer wish to explore. We’ll call them “trials and tribulations.” They will be selling seconds of their new collaborative effort, Bean and Bailey Ceramics, along with other odds and ends.
Lil bowls?!?! You gotta be kidding me!!!
Wait!?! Did you want to get mom something real, real nice? Well don’t fret! Regular priced prized pieces will also be available.
And we have a show up in the gallery of all Artifact’s 5 members’ work(s). Did that make sense, mom?!?!?
These lil treasures from Anderson Bailey!!!

Artifact is happy to announce that we will be a part of the Spark festival this year.
Shop Class will be a day of demonstrations by each member of Artifact studio. We will open our doors to the public for an afternoon of live blacksmithing, woodworking, slip casting, and wheel-thrown pottery demos. Come see artists in their natural habitats! Witness the blood, sweat, and tears that go into the process of making something by hand! Discover how objects are made outside of the factory! As you behold the manipulation of these materials in front of your very eyes, gain appreciation for the skills required, and insight into the studio practices of working craft artists. Our goals are to both educate and entertain the public, showing people processes involved with objects they most likely see and use every day- pots, furniture, tools, art, and much more. Actions observed may or may not include but are not limited to: Smashing, throwing, turning, carving, welding, pouring, sweating, crying, smelling, cutting, grinding, burning, heating, trimming, mixing, drying, and smoothing. Eat some snacks, ask some questions, and leave with a better understanding of how things are made.
Madison Harris Screening!!!
These words come from the mouth/hands/interwebs of Jon-Michael:
You are cordially invited to attend a screening of Madison Harris at Artifact headquarters. Madison Harris is a stupid ‘lil’ film about many things and about nothing. (like 11 min. long sorta little) It’s taken a little while to finish this piggie so we’d really love you to come. The screening will start at 8pm beginning with a 20 minute pre-reel full of all kinds of good stuff and personally constructed by the capable hands of MES founder, Chris Dortch. There will be cookies, potteries, iron-ore, mr. parker, amazing clothes, designs and so much more… You will win money tonight!
And don’t leave after the lights get bright. Give yourself a chance to soak up all that is Artifact. Team Artifact will have all their amazingness on hand for the takin’ and admiring’. Zac-Zac-Zacharais will be spinning records for your pleasure. I don’t know how it will get any better than this, but maybe, you never know.
Here is the trailer:
We are very excited to be showing Jon-Michael’s film this Friday!
