Immerse yourself in the subtle brilliance of this Jeremy Popelka glass vessel—a tactile meditation in green and metallic. At 9″ tall, it embodies a quiet intensity: from the depth of its soft green glow to the refined gleam of metallic iridescence of the base. Whether for a seasoned art glass collector or someone drawn to contemplative beauty, this vessel offers tactile richness and visual depth in a compact, elegant form.

Jeremy Popelka has dedicated more than 30 years to advancing the art glass tradition. A master of Venetian murrini blowing, Popelka creates his own colored cane canes, fusing them into mesmerizing patterns and blown forms—a practice he’s pursued for over two decades. Grounded in a deep fascination with nature, archetypal imagery, and his concept of a “personal archaeology,” Popelka’s vessels draw from tribal weaving patterns, biological motifs, and Murano glass legacies to form richly symbolic compositions.

Educated at Illinois State University and holding an MFA with high distinction from California College of Arts & Crafts, he later took classes and taught at the prestigious Pilchuck School alongside luminaries like Dale Chihuly and Erwin Eisch. His works are held in major collections, including regionally at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, and have been exhibited in galleries across the U.S. and internationally.

Mark Kolinski is a ceramic artist, educator, and co-founder of Clay on Steele Studio & Gallery in Algoma, Wisconsin. Raised in a creative family, Kolinski immersed himself in clay from an early age—studying under both traditional potter Susan Galloway and conceptual ceramicist Harris Deller at Southern Illinois University. After earning his degree, he apprenticed for four years with acclaimed sculptor Ruth Duckworth in Chicago, where he was also mentored by figures like Martin Puryear and Alice Westphal.

That experience laid the groundwork for a rich and expansive artistic journey. Kolinski spent nearly three decades teaching art in international schools across Kuwait, Malaysia, Japan, China, Singapore, and Austria, deeply influenced by the visual languages and traditions of each region. Eventually, he returned to Wisconsin and, with his wife Ellen Levenhagen, established Clay on Steele—a collaborative studio-gallery where they continue to create, exhibit, and teach. His work is frequently shown throughout the Midwest and internationally, and he also exhibits at Idea Gallery in Door County.

Kolinski’s Gris embodies his lifelong exploration of form, earthy restraint, and quiet poetry in clay. The Door County Granary is depicted in the work, which features restrained tones, and layered texture that rewards viewers through close observation.

Ellen Levenhagen is a ceramic artist and co-founder of Clay on Steele Studio & Gallery in Algoma, Wisconsin, where she collaborates with her longtime creative partner and husband, Mark Kolinski. With over four decades of partnership—both personal and professional—Ellen’s artistic journey began at Southern Illinois University, where she studied ceramics under Harris Deller. Together with Mark, she apprenticed in Chicago for four years under iconic sculptor Ruth Duckworth, an experience that deeply shaped her approach to surface, form, and conceptual depth

Following her education, Ellen and Mark spent 28 years teaching art in international schools across Kuwait, Malaysia, Japan, China, Singapore, and Austria. Immersed in each region’s visual culture, she integrated subtle floral forms, organic patterns, and global influences into her work—aesthetics that continue to echo through her pieces today. Since returning to Wisconsin in 1985, she has exhibited widely throughout the Midwest and continues to teach workshops and classes through Clay on Steele.

Some of the finest, most beautiful baskets in the world are made using the coiling technique. This universal method uses one continuous, round length of paper rush as the material to construct the basket, wound around or on top of itself, in an expanding or decreasing spiral.

Covered coiling lends itself to a wide variety of expressions. This basket uses a beautifully hand-dyed, hand spun wool and silk blended yarn to completely cover the core. A “figure 8” stitch was used to bind the new coil to the previous one. Concentrated attention was paid to the shaping this basket and its lid.

The rim and part of the lid were coiled using the open coiling technique, in other words, the core is exposed so that the beautiful natural material can be seen. A “basket weaver’s buttonhole” stitch was used to bind the new coil to the previous one.

Coiled basketry is a labor intensive art form. This basket took 20 to 24 hours to complete. Materials: hand-dyed, hand-spun silk and wool yarn, waxed linen, paper rush. Width: 6 1/2 inches. Height: 4 inches.
