Erin Pietsch听

Erin draws inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds her home in the Pacific Northwest. Her work is crafted from porcelain and she focuses her efforts on cohesively bringing together the work's aesthetic qualities and its intended function. In her own words, she "finds constant inspiration in the natural world - whether it is a quiet walk along a riverbank, or a trail through the woods." From this, she "listens to the form, and lets the materials guide her, allowing each piece to evolve into something new and unexpected."

Jennifer McBrien

Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, Jennifer is well known for her fiber art. She hand-makes purses, messenger bags, and pillows. The aspect of her work that intrigues many is that she uses her sewing machine to "draw." She does not use a programmable device but manipulates the fabric manually to create a drawing from the thread. Seeing the pieces up close in person really shows off the artistry.

Laura Zindel

The pottery that Laura and her team hand-crafts in Vermont is produced from local clay. Her process begins by drawing with a graphite pencil an image that reflects her love and interest in all things floral and fauna. This drawing is then used as the basis for the design of her pieces.

Joelle Zellman

Hokanson Dix Glass

The two founders of this glass studio, Bengt and Trefny, work each day from East Hampton on Long Island. Their glass-blowing techniques are based on Italian and Swedish methods and they have also developed their own techniques over time. Much of their inspiration comes from seascapes and aquatic life forms, which you can see in the work.

Ron Korczynski

An eternal favorite of the gallery, Ron Korczynski has spent the last 20 years focusing on creating highly decorative and functional lowfire work. Prior to this, he spent 32 years as a public school teacher and created functional stone pottery. According to Ron, "the best things can't be told because they transcend thought... I am at a loss when trying to explain the pleasure derived from a vase holding flowers, a casserole being cooked in, bowls used to serve in or a platter simply being enjoyed visually. I want to make good pots for people to enjoy functionally, visually, and tactually."

Moni Hill

Originally from Germany, Moni grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. She currently lives with her family in Asheville, North Carolina. She is a painter known for her landscapes layered with acrylic paint. Interestingly, as she paints her landscapes, she uses a power sander to remove part of the paint. Because of this sanding technique, she paints on wood, which is strong enough to withstand this treatment. You'll find her paintings to be vibrant and focus on the natural elements that surround her home.

Justin Rothshank

This potter finds his home in Goshen, Indiana. The effects one can see on his pottery are due to multiple firings - often a piece is fired 4-5 times to get the layered, collage look he is aiming for. The hand-made pots he creates are intended to be used every day. He and his wife view art in the sense that "it enables self-understanding, provides a window into other cultures, and gives context to history and education."

Drat That Cat Glass

The artist, Maggie Wagner, works with fused glass to create vibrant pieces from necklaces to sinks. Her studio is in Canton, Ohio and is also the home to Bruce. Bruce is best described in Maggie's own words as, "a giant, immodest, slobbering bear of a cat." Looking at her work, one can see the energy that emanates from the light catching on deep hues of colors. The colors draw you in.
