On the Wall. Mirrors bounce light, make spaces feel bigger, and, when surrounded by a beautiful frame, create living self-portraits every time we check ourselves out. Peering into the handmade mirrors of these four artists is a celebration of craft—and of self, too. This selection can be found at Artful Home.

Jan Jacque is a potter in love with wood. Deep Water, like many of the other works she creates in her Livonia, New York, studio, is a marriage of the two materials. Here an unconventionally shaped looking glass, 24 x 32 x 2 in., is cradled in cherrywood, with red, purple, and black ceramic “stones” as accents. / $1,000

The elegant ovals on the wooden Scribble Oculus Mirror, 18 x 18 x 4 in., reflect their creator’s love of color and line. Kimberly Winkle, a widely exhibited maker/sculptor, directs the School of Art, Craft & Design at Tennessee Technological University while producing works that, in her words, “are intentionally simplified . . . so that the designs themselves are the central focus.” / $590
