Indigo Grove Designs

Indigo Grove Designs Art in clay, shards, and yarn🏳️‍🌈 Indigo Grove Designs is a sole proprietorship run by myself, eileen storey, out of my home in Dickinson, Texas.

My clay studio is in my dining room, and my kiln is in my garage. IGD has been my passion in Texas since 2002, and originated when I lived in Japan in 2000 and began to make mosaics. I work mainly in hand-built functional pottery and sculpture, but also create wheel-thrown work as well. My tile collages and mosaics are on a smallish scale, but I enjoy creating larger commissions such as kitchen backsplashes and tile installations.

A bit of the end process on “Nothing So Dear.” I’ve sent photos of this off to Fiber Art Now and hope to hear back that the work was accepted for the exhibition in Portland. Then the next challenge: boxing her up and shipping.

Slow going. It’s tough working on stuff when you only have an hour or two at a time. Can’t really even get into a flow state. But a little by little, I’ll get this done.

So I have spent a part of each of the last 10 days or so in the studio. This hasn’t happened for well over a year. I’m really proud of myself. Mainly, I’ve been making little tiles. Lots and lots and lots of little tiles. They’ll be fired fairly soon. I’ve also been working on this larger mosaic, filling in the background a bit with tiles that I’ve cut. I know the colors are really close. The background leaf shapes and the foreground stalk shapes. When I take this to critique next Monday, I’ll get some ideas on how to differentiate between the two.

New work on the table.

New work! “Morning Stack,” 15x15”. Handmade clay tiles, driftwood, sandstone, beads, pebbles, and tinted thinset on tile backer board. Available soon.

I made the copper colored stone shapes several years ago, influenced by environmental artist Michael Grab . His works really soothes me, and I want to try and re-create (in some way) more of his structures. So that’s also in the works. Go check out his page. He’s really incredible.

Once again, a beginning. This time, I’ll be using dry tints in the thinset. These pieces (driftwood in the middle, top left, and bottom, right; found metal on the top middle, middle right and bottom left) are attached with heavy matte gel. Excited about the earthy colors I’ll be using! And did I mention: entries to Lawndale’s The Big Show are due Tuesday?? Hoping I can get this done in time!!
