River Gallery features Durmaj, Schwartz art
The River Gallery will be
featuring two local artists dur-
ing the Second Saturday
Gallery Tour today, Aug. 13,
from 3 to 5 p.m.
Kitty Durmaj is a local jew-
elry artist who divides her
time between Portland and
Florence, where she creates
her fascinating pieces in her
home studios.
Her jewelry reflects her
love for working with metal
and wire. Her ability to repur-
pose vintage findings in her
designs results in a blend of
the past and present.
Durmaj’s work takes you on
adventures to distant places
and times, especially France.
Thoughts and feeling are inter-
woven into her designs
through words and phrases
echoed from the past and
whispered into the present.
Michael Schwartz creates
beautiful pit-fired ceramics.

hard, he kiln-fires them to
1,800 degrees F. He covers
some areas with copper or steel
mesh and various other inter-
esting items. He then buries the
pots in a sawdust pit, sets it
ablaze and leaves them to
smolder overnight, as was (and
still is) done by Indians in the
American Southwest.
The result is due to the
interaction of fire and some on
salts and metals.
No glaze has been used.
Each piece is a one-of-a-
kind work of art with blacks,
grays, greens and reds.
The River Gallery features
the work of more than 20 local
artists and carries a wide
selection of hand-blown
Oregon glass floats.
The gallery, located in Old
Town Florence, is on the cor-
ner of Bay and Laurel streets.
Stop by during the Second
Saturday
Gallery
Tour
between 3 and 5 p.m. and meet
the artists and enjoy cham-
pagne and chocolate.
