Guest artist, and have a jewelry artist are listed with us also. An e-mail information letter is also being sent out to those who wish to receive it. in the works.  This would have information on some of the pictures that we have, as well as new items, and special events that are coming up.  Hopefully it will be a combination of things that would be fun and interesting to learn about.
•     Kathy also known as Katie-did, is a ceramicist, but at times does other art interests, the love of creating for her started before kindergarten.  By simple definition a ceramicist is someone who works in clay.  Using slip casting as well as hand building, Kathy works mainly in earthenware, a low fire clay, with a variety of techniques. Some of her pieces combine both hand building and slip casting, with slip trailing and under glazing, and fired on gold.  The Horsehair Firing is a technique that requires the piece to be removed from the kiln while very very hot. As does the technique Raku.
•    Some of the pieces are functional, which would make them food safe, while others either because they are so delicate or are not food safe are just for aesthetic reasons. 
•    Sam loves to study nature through his lens.  He loves the “hunt” and takes it seriously.  It is fun to really get to see whats out there and take notice of what sometimes is just in our own back yard. The camera doesn't always see what we see, once in awhile it will actually make something look cooler, but for the most part your eye is a wonderful tool, and can't be compared to the simple photography your camera takes.  I am sure that it is due in part to the rest of the senses you use while out there taking pictures.  For example, the breeze blowing, loons calling, the lap of the waves, these are all things you can't include even in the most fantastic photo.
