Featured Artists of the Month

Jean utilizes mixed-media presentation with most of her pieces using either stoneware or porcelain as the clay medium and interfacing her pieces with feathers, pine needles, beads, wire, and wood. Her pieces are either wheel-thrown, hand-built, or altered wheel-thrown. Jean finishes the work with mid-range firing or uses various raku techniques to complete the pieces.

Sandra has been working with throwing on the wheel, handbuilding, nerikomi (colored clay), sculpture, and experimenting with various glazes and underglazes. She works with color and whimsy.

Currently, Sunny's main focus is on working with the gourds and carving wood panels. Her inspiration comes from our amazing coastal beauty and the nature that surrounds us all, as well as my fellow artists here in our beautiful gallery.

Val's medium of preference is low-fire clay. She hand-built her art, which is formed mostly from coils and slabs that are carefully pieced together. After slowly drying, each is bisque-fired in an electric kiln. When cool, glaze is added, then each piece is fired again. Sometimes paint, beads, shells, or other embellishments are added.
