Artisan Spotlight: Ayala Bar
Posted On: 02.22.2010 | Posted In: Artists |
Israeli-born (and current resident) artist Ayala Bar graduated art school with a rather broad range of experiences and artistic talents, from theater to interior design.
The late 1980’s found Ayala surfacing as a prominent jeweler in Israel, specializing in a unique blend of natural elements and glass, metals and assorted fabrics to create a very rich and and very hard-to-replicate mosaic tone to her jewelry pieces. Ayala Bar is well known as a strongly independent artist with limited-edition pieces that reflect strong artisan skill in both composition and innovative use of raw materials.
Don’t take our word for it: See our Ayala Bar jewelry collection at Artisan Design Gallery and you’ll understand why her work is considered truly limited edition artisan jewelry.

What Does Artisan Community Mean to You?
Posted On: 01.12.2010 | Posted In: Artisan FAQs |
Celebrating creativity? I would translate the question at hand (what is an artisan community and what does it mean to you?) as being directly related to an artist, or a lover of art, feeling empowered to share their experiences in physical form with a community at large.
I think we can assume that artisan implies a master of their craft, an artist committed to their craft, independent and so on. Yet the concept of community, outside of the obvious interpretation of a gathering of like-minded people, can shift drastically depending on what your perspective is.
So is the artisan community, by which we here at Artisan Design Gallery greatly admire and take great pride in promoting, one of the following:
- A resource for artists?
- A community of artists?
- A directory of artists?
- An art center, you guessed it, populated by artists?
- A gathering of artists?
You get the picture. But it’s intriguing to imagine an artisan community in many different skins, and wondering if in the grand scheme of things, all artisans and artists alike share the same community regardless of who we are, what we create, where we live, etc. After all, does a community have to be explicitly connected by geography or exact likes and dislikes?
