A Day in the Studio With Jayne King ✨

We visited Jayne King of King Clayworks in her studio to get a behind-the-scenes look at her ceramic practice, from her design process to the places and ideas that inspire her work.

Most recently, Jane traveled to Venice, Italy, to demonstrate her painting technique at a Homo Faber Biennale. You can find her and her work at the One of a Kind Holiday Show this December!

Step inside her studio and discover the thought, technique, and creativity behind her work. Watch the full studio visit at the link in our bio🔗 by @ooakchicago

Never been to One of a Kind? Allow us to catch you up.

You walk in with a shopping list. Then you meet the makers, find something you definitely weren’t shopping for, stop for a drink, lose track of time, text a photo to someone who needs to see this, and somehow leave with your hands full.

And that’s just the first trip around the Show.

Okay, we could tell you how much fun you’re going to have at One of a Kind... but we figured we’d let the five-star reviews handle this one ⭐️

Swipe for a few words from people who have been there, shopped that, and already know why the Holiday Show is worth putting on the calendar.

We're truly feeling the love. Thanks, OOAK shoppers 🤍 by @ooakchicago

What makes it One of a Kind?

It’s finding something you didn’t know you were looking for. Meeting the person who made it. Stopping for a drink, catching an artist demo or gallery talk, then circling back because you’re still thinking about that piece you saw three aisles ago.

For 25 years, One of a Kind has brought artists, makers and shoppers together for a holiday tradition that’s about much more than checking names off a gift list.

There’s a reason it’s called One of a Kind. Don't believe us? Come see for yourself. taken in THE MART by @ooakchicago

Maker Diary: Marlo Graham

Creativity has always been a part of Marlo Graham’s life. Her mom was a performing artist, while her dad, a visual artist and architect, designed sets for the circus productions Marlo performed in. After spending twelve years as a circus aerialist, Marlo found her way to painting.

Today, her work features bold, custom-mixed colors and clean, graphic lines, drawing inspiration from urban landscapes, nostalgia, and everyday life.

Meet Marlo Graham at the One of a Kind Holiday Show, December 3–6 at THE MART. Explore more Holiday Show exhibitors through the link in our bio. ✨ by @ooakchicago
