Correspondent photos / Sean Barron Dean Anshutz and Chrissy Bailey, who run a Youngstown-based business called Bird’s Vintage, sit on a boomerang sofa from the 1960s, one of many vintage pieces they are selling during the 2021 FaLaLa show at The Ward Bakery in Youngstown.
Her work consists largely of a variety of ceramic pieces with colorful creativity and artistic improvisation at their core.
Tambasis said she uses a traditional pottery wheel as a tool, but also likes to add her own alterations and deformities that set her art works apart.
Tambasis added that she uses several firing techniques on the mugs, bowls, cylinders and other pieces she creates.
The couple buys and sells, or has sold, largely mid-20th century items such as a black Chesterfield-style sofa, which Branch Street Coffee Roasters in Boardman bought.
Anshutz and Bailey buy their merchandise from estate sales and auctions nationwide.
