Artists & Makers Studios Welcomes
Laurel Lukaszewski and her Exhibit “Reiterations”
for the Month of June

(Rockville, MD) – Artists & Makers Studios is thrilled to host Laurel Lukaszewski in the Invited Artist Gallery for the month of June. The exhibit runs from June 4th through June 25th, with an opening reception on June 6th from 5-8pm. Laurel Lukaszewski’s latest solo show will present a new body of work focused on an ongoing exploration of materials that began in fall 2024 with a translation of her ceramic iconography into woodblock carvings and prints, cast glass and “printed” porcelain. This examination provides a fascinating look at how materials (clay, glass, wood and paper) can substantially change the viewer’s perception of a piece, even when it is a direct impression of the original. Laurel Lukaszewski is a ceramic artist who has shown nationally and internationally over the past two decades. Her work, whether abstract installations or figurative sculpture, is inspired by the natural world’s life and patterns in the garden and underwater.  It strives to capture movement at a precise moment in time—an attempt to still a single instant before it becomes a fading memory. Enjoy additional exhibits with Resident Artists in the Gallery Hall, a mini-solo with Anne Rickert in the Lounge Gallery, a Pop-Up with Naan Pocen, the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Open Studios building-wide will welcome visitors to visit and learn. Shop and support local working artists, makers, and professionals. Light fare and drinks are sponsored monthly by The Chesapeake Framing Company.
