This Month's Artist: Marv Jensen of North Carolina

Marv Jensen was a member of the original SIU Mokume Research Group. Much of his work is high tech/furturistic including electric music instrument design, medical equipment and motorcycles. His holloware represents an interest in pursuing a historic craft within the context of his own aesthetic. The holloware works are infrequent but consistent and have been made for the last 25 years. Marv Jensen lives and works in the mountains of western North Carolina
