Today we celebrate the work of talented ceramic artist Alison Brent, who began creating marble-motif masterpieces well before marble became trendy again.

Alison Brent’s works of art are available through her Etsy shop, as well as her website. Above we see three furniture pulls featuring a black marble finish. Like all of her pieces, they are slip-cast in earthenware clay, with a glaze and enamel decoration.
