We will be hosting an artist reception during the run of the show to mark this special occasion on Friday January 30th from 5-8pm.

Please join us to celebrate 15 wonderful years – we can’t wait to share this show with you!

Jenny Blasen | @jennyblasen

When creating my functional pottery I take inspiration from everyday objects. I craft each piece by hand using different textures and rich fluid colors to create elevated useful pieces.

Christine Konen | @konencreations

My body of work explores the relationship between nature and light. Each piece has a significance in adding light to the world – from its idea through the process of creation. I wish for my work to invoke respect for the earth in which we rely and for the light of the good to continue fighting to sustain her.

Mud Garden Studio | @mudgardenstudio

I make lighthearted, quirky ceramics for your home. Using earthenware clay and majolica glazing techniques, I create hand-built and wheel thrown pieces that are inspired by folk art, flowers, and good food shared with friends.

Mary Pulliam | @mary.from.the.prairie

I’ve been doing ceramics about fifteen years. My goal is to make serviceable, comfortable pieces that will actually be used in their new homes. I try to make the glazes appealing, using bright color and flowing shapes often drawn from nature.

Gloria Van Dixhorn | @gloria_loves_clay

Functional ceramic art . Each piece is thrown, trimmed and decorated by hand with original images. Then glazed and fired in a wood kiln built by myself and 3 artist women friends.

JD Wolfe | @jdwolfepottery

JD Wolfe focuses on small scale pottery with natural influences.
