About the Raffle Artists
John Glick
John Glick graduated from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1962, and opened his private gallery, Plum Tree Pottery, in 1965. Although he made conceptual ceramic sculptures, much of his work has been focused on the art and craft of functional vessels and their incorporation into the rituals of daily life. He currently is the subject of a retrospective exhibition that includes more than 250 pieces at Cranbrook Academy, which runs through March 12, 2017. Click here for his website.
Jan Maddox
Jan Maddox creates jewelry as a wearable art form. Her most recent work includes disc and square brooches in sterling and 18K gold as well as a series of colored pencil drawings framed in sterling. Her distinctive double rings approach the idea of a ring from a different direction, incorporating ancient forms and contemporary fashions. In different ways, these all reflect the two dominant areas of her career at Montgomery County teaching design/crafts and art history. Click here for her website.

Tim’s work is in the permanent collection of a number of museums, including the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Mint Museum.
