New Art, Music and Culinary Fest brings together one-of-a-kind local artists

It’s a new art, music and culinary festival coming to you this weekend– called Locally Made.

Here to tell us how the event showcases the talents of Indiana creators is Mark Williams, Executive Director of the Indianapolis Art Center. Also in today? Ceramicist Marlina Koonce. Check out some of her work!

About: Under the Glaze is a local ceramics business founded by Marlina Koonce and Amber McKibbin. Though officially started in 2015, Under the Glaze is the result of a lasting friendship and art collaboration that started when Marlina and Amber met as students at IUPUI’s Herron School of Art and Design in 2006.
This ceramics duo creates a wide variety of pieces ranging from functional mugs, vases, bowls, and serving ware to sculptural dresses and wall flowers. A few of their signature items include Indiana mugs and tumblers; floral dress vases – the vase is shaped like a dress form and fresh flowers can be added to create a full skirt; and custom dress recreations – they will sculpt a 10” replica of any special occasion dress from pictures provided from the customer.

Their design work is strongly influenced by a love for textiles and textures – an inspiration that comes from each of their grandmothers. Marlina’s was a clothing designer and Amber’s an upholsterer. Marlina’s style incorporates lace impressions and buttons to capture the texture and aesthetic of fabric while Amber’s style uses slip trailing and carving to create intricate patterns across each piece. Together their styles make pieces that are rich in texture and bold color making them fun to use and display or as they like to say “add a little artsy elegance for the everyday!”

In addition to participating in the Locally Made event at the Indianapolis Art Center this weekend, you can find Under the Glaze online at www.undertheglaze.com, or on Facebook and Instagram @undertheglaze. They also have ceramic work featured at Noblesmade at the Hamilton County Visitors Center in Noblesville, IN and Smokey Fireside Creations in Danville, IN.
