This dinner plate is the ultimate collaboration between Abby Jo Elle and Ray Brown. Throughout each step, the artist both gave effort in spending every work session crafting this piece and became friends along the way!
The concept blossomed from a few ideas in initial conversations where the artists discovered a shared love of their midwestern origins, communities, and webcomics.
Abby Jo Elle has a Bachelor's degree in Pre-art Therapy and a double minor in Psychology and Painting, but now she chooses a life dedicated to ceramics and caregiving.
Abby Jo Elle is an Indianapolis based artist whose preferred medium is pottery.
She’s chosen working with clay as her canvas, using the “sgraffito” method of carving, because it helps ground herself in a chronically online world.
Ray Brown is an illustrator and character artist from the midwest.
This plate was made as one of the 18 table settings in the Indy Makers Dinner Series, By The Hand. By The Hand combines art, cuisine, and community for a unique dining experience. Patina Gallery and Chef Andy Tipton have teamed up to create a multi-course menu inspired by in season produce, utilizing local farms and small businesses when available. Purchasing this plate includes one ticket for the dinner, a private event, which is held on November 19th at 7pm. Please note- all sales are final. If you are no longer able to attend the dinner, you may gift your seat. Please notify us of any changes no later than November 11th.
