Who happens to be holding an ArtBeat Magazine featuring Barlock Porcelain on the back cover?! Carolyn seamlessly blends ancient techniques of Persian Lusters with 24 Karat Gold to her own chiseled Florentine gold finish on fine porcelain creating unique pieces of timeless beauty. She is featured in ArtBeat Magazine, Sculpture of the Rockies, Robb Report, Southwest Art and International Porcelain Magazines. She has won Gold Medals at International Porcelain Artists Shows for her work.  Centuries-old techniques and the age-old Persian colors are a tradition carried forward by Carolyn Barlock. Her modern designs are enhanced with vivid colors that even the Medici might covet. the Florentine gold finish is her own technique where 24 carat gold is applied to a chiseled porcelain surface. #BarlockPorcelain #BarlockArt #CarolynBarlock #LusterAndGold #ContemporaryPorcelain From its beginnings in Baghdad in the 9th century, the art of luster remained a closely guarded secret for some 700 years. Traveling along the trade routes that linked Eastern and European worlds, luster's sapphire-blue and ruby-red colors eventually graced the palaces of princes from Persia to Paris. In 16th century Italy, Pope Leo X, prince of the Medici’s and patron of Michelangelo and Raphael, so greatly admired the luster of Gubbio, a town near Assisi, that he granted the town's master craftsman permanent exemption from taxes. A few years later, in the mid-16th century, a treatise on the making of luster was at last widely circulated, thereby ending the art's secrecy but revealing its unpredictable technique. Out of a hundred pieces, fewer than six might be successful. The author of the treatise concluded that, even so, “the art is essentially beautiful and ingenious and when the works are good they are paid for in gold.” Not until the 18th century, with the discovery at Meissen of the composition of true porcelain, was it possible to improve the odds of successfully creating this truly golden art. The centuries-old techniques and the age-old Persian colors are the tradition carried forward by Carolyn Barlock. Her contemporary palette is enhanced with vivid colors that even a de Medici might covet. Pope Leo X would recognize Barlock's amethyst luster made from the amethyst gem, but he would not recognize the Florentine gold finish which is her own technique requiring many applications of 24 carat gold to a chiseled porcelain surface. Each of Carolyn Barlock's porcelain masterpieces is a one-of-a-kind, museum-quality luster, resplendent with gold and representative of ages past and present. Carolyn Barlock is a member of International Porcelain Artists. She is a master of the ancient technique of Persian luster dating from 9th Century Baghdad and porcelain enamel arts dating from China’s Ming Dynasty. Her work may be seen in galleries and in private collections throughout the United States and Europe. She participates in the annual “Sculpture in the Park” juried exhibition at Benson Sculpture Garden in Loveland, Colorado and currently resides in Denver, Colorado. Twelve Days...

COLORADO, DESTINATION: ART!
35th Annual Sculpture in the Park
by Wendy L. Pitton R. 

A collector’s tradition, Sculpture in the Park is a destination that continues to exhibit a level of exceptional artistry and touted as “America’s largest outdoor juried sculpture show and sale” on their website. Loveland is a natural scenic beauty and combined with colorful, delicate and powerful sculptures it is truly a destination for not only collectors, but novice alike.
​
As Sculpture in the Park celebrates 35 years of bringing the sculptural arts to the public there are several artists that are celebrating along with them a long standing of being selected through the juried process.

Carolyn L. Barlock will join Sculpture in the Park for her 22nd year. As she explained, “I am honored every year to participate.” Barlock had an exciting 2017, “My friend Father Andre arranged to have his Holiness Pope Francis accept a chalice. The chalice was presented during the International Assembly Conference of the Aperolic Union of the Clergy on November 16, 2017 in the Hall of the Consistory at the Vatican, I felt so honored and blessed,” smiles Barlock.
​
Barlock has found inspiration from everything around her and has allowed herself to “have fun” with her art as she states it, which is why the work presented at this year’s exhibition is so special. From frogs to lilies to dragon flies that look as though they are about to fly off the vase, Barlock continues to elevate her artistic style with her chiseled luster porcelain. Exploring the different styles of porcelain that Barlock is able to locate has only added to the artistic dimension that she creates; nothing is out of this artists reach; goblets, vases, jewelry boxes, decanters and so much more.

Denver-based artist Carolyn 
Barlock’s love of art began when her grandmother took her to the Colorado Institute of Art (now the Art Institute of Colorado) for summer drawing classes when she was 9 years old. Her grandmother, an artist herself who painted on porcelain, recognized the talent in her granddaughter. “She was the grandmother that always had watercolors, paints, and stuff to draw with,” Barlock remembers. “She encouraged all her grandchildren in art, but I was the only one who ever took it up.” After receiving her associate’s degree in 1967, Barlock began working in porcelain. At first she painted scenes and portraits on her pieces, but she then moved into using techniques of ancient porcelain decoration and enameled art inspired by works from the Chinese Ming dynasty. “If you look in history museums, the one thing that always impresses me about porcelain is its lasting quality,” she says. For the last few decades she has focused on the use of 22-karat Florentine gold and ancient Persian lusters on her works, earning international recognition. “I love art that will stand the test of time and span generations, whether it’s sculpture, paintings, porcelain, or beadwork,” she says. “That’s what I love about porcelain--it’s not only useable and functional but lasting in quality and beauty.” --Joe Kovack Barlock is represented by Columbine Gallery, Loveland, CO; Gallery 1261, Denver, CO; and Total Arts Gallery, Taos, NM.
