The “Blue Bell” on the left has blue and purple solar lights around the center support. Lighting the ceramic bells at night. The newest ceramic piece is “Garden Tile” It’s framed terracotta tiles that’s 11 feet tall by 12 inches wide. I made the Terracotta tiles over 10 years ago and put them in a box. My pool pump enclosure worked as a great place to install it.

Art o Mat

Art o Mat, Copper, Copper Blue Patina, Copper Bookmark, John Gregg, John Gregg Studios

Art o Mat has excepted my copper bookmark. The inspiration for Art-o-mat came to artist Clark Whittington in June 1997. He’s  recycling cigarette machines to sell art work the size of a pack of cigarettes. He’s gone from 1 machine to about 200 machines across the country. In 2013 I found two Art o Mat recycled cigarette machines in the Cosmopolitan Hotel Casino Las Vegas, NV. I sent in some of my ceramic tiles and they were excepted for Art o Mat machine.  A year later my back went out and gave up ceramic. I will be trying to get this shipment of copper bookmarks out this week.

I’m using a rolling presses to cut copper feathers out of sheet copper. Then I process the copper with household chemicals to get patinas that can be deep purple, dark blue and turquoise. The copper patina is sealed to the bookmark with lacquer. The bookmarks are then attached to a 5” x 7” card and are great for candy vending machines.
