Amanda Powell loves creating custom, one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork for her customers—but in this case she isn’t referring to the tattoos she creates at Lost Art. Miss Amanda’s Art and Such is Powell’s line of purses, wallets, jewelry and small paintings carefully handmade and customized by Powell herself. Her handbags and wallets are a colorful collection of vintage pieces customized with tattoo-inspired acrylic paintings. … read more
CLC Artist: AJ Wentworth
While AJ Wentworth attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City in 2009, he worked at a local deli and made raw chocolate bars in his spare time. It didn’t take long for students at his school to start asking why he wasn’t selling the homemade chocolate, and what started as a hobby turned into a way to make four to five hundred dollars in a weekend at school. From there it became a passion. … read more

CLC Artist: Reclaimed Wreckage
Store-bought bags could not withstand Captain Chaos, the son of Reclaimed Wreckage’s Chris and Lisa Brown. Lisa started looking to discarded byproducts as a cost-effective, durable material and solution for her own bags. Made from abandoned tractor tire tubes, their bags sport rivets, satin-lined interiors and zippers. Lisa has expanded even more into upcycled vinyl product creation, including earrings and other accessories. … read more

CLC Artist: Tiffany Blue
Like any girl, Tiffany Blue wanted a variety of options to hang from her stretched lobes, but at approximately $100 per pair, it just didn’t seem realistic. She created her first pair of polymer clay earrings in the fall of 2009 after she became disappointed by the high prices of jewelry for stretched ears in local stores. Her designs run the gamut from simple spirals to decadent dangles that curl in and out in a dizzying manner. … read more

CLC Artist: Jorge Arellano
“I started doing stencil art with my friends,” says Arellano. “At that time, we didn’t have an option to do silk screening, so spray painting was the easiest thing to do, and the easiest way to spray paint on clothes was to use a stencil.” Upon moving to Salt Lake, Arellano abandoned stencil art for many years until he created a few pieces for his band All Systems Fail. He began creating stencil art again, quite secretively, but his talent and love for the art couldn’t be hidden forever. … read more

CLC Artist: Evan Jed Memmott
A first time Craft Lake City artist, Memmott’s work is on the pop art end of the spectrum and heavy on appropriation—think sci-fi/comic book nerd Andy Warhol. The subject matter ranges from sci-fi stuff (including pretty sweet Star Trek: DSN Quark and Star Trek: TNG Worf masks) to his Utah history inspired work. … read more
