I have the privilege of knowing a number of very talented artists who enrich my world through their work and their outlook on life. One artist in particular was Mitch Lyons, who was truly "The Father of Clay Monoprinting" and the inspiration for me desiring to collaborate with artists to include images of their original artwork in my leather jewelry creations.
Here are several pieces in the collaboration between Nivell Jewelry and Mitch Lyons. Wear art on your wrist!
This clay monoprint, by Mitch Lyons, is one of the original artworks that the images for the leather cuffs were derived from.
No ink, paper, or press was used to create this. This was printed with clay and colored slip. Mitch pioneered this process over 40 years ago and is the true originator of the clay monoprint. I like to call him the "Father of Clay Monoprinting."
For great info about Mitch and his process visit www.mitchlyons.com
Mitch's "Lyons" signature is printed on the leather too.
Mitch Lyons rolled out a 6' x 6' clay slab 35 years ago in September 1980 that was only 1/4" thick. Today the slab is over 3" thick and represents the archival layers of thousands of clay mono prints that he created and pulled from this one slab.
