Artist of the Month
September 2017
Madelyn C. Ricks
Former potter Madelyn Ricks has been a full-time studio artist since 1982. She is among the few artists who combine great creations with greater persona. She painstakingly weaves tiny glass beads, packing those dots of colored light, 300 beads per square inch. She is best known for her majestic woven beaded kimonos. Madelyn is represented by Mostly Glass Gallery.
