My clay forms are influenced by flowers, leaves and nature. Pieces are altered by incising and applying slip. Using variegated glazes with mottled colors accentuates my idea of form.

Photography
Wonder lurks. Subtle as a knowing glance. Obvious as a wrecking ball. I nudge an image. Its story finds me. I sweet talk it to paper. Wonder realized.

April 11 - May 2
Barb Erickson of Star Prairie, WI
Textiles
For the last few years I have been working with recycled materials and trying to rework ready made clothing. This purse is an example of recycled material. It began life as as mattress pad. I painted, stamped, dyed and stitched the top and then sewed it into a purse. |

Carol Jones of New Richmond, WI
Textiles
When creating a garment, I start with an image or a mood, and the purpose for wearing. I provide the handwork it takes to complete the project. The fabric does the rest.
Carol is a self-taught designer and seamstress who has been in the experimentation process for 4 decades. She enjoys the challenge of learning some new techniques with each project, and the problem solving process of bringing a concept to life. |

Currently, my work in clay encompasses a variety of wood-fired vessels, sculptures and wall-pieces. The nature of the materials I use is evident, and I embrace unpredictable results of the process.

Marge Lindemann of Cumberland, WI

I love color! In 1990 I discovered silk and its unequaled capacity to absorb brilliant color and this sent me on my journey into the exploration of creating with brush and sewing machine.

Mike Hansen of Amery, WI

I choose to make things which can be a part of life, vessels that can be used and enjoyed, objects that are unique and one of a kind. |

Candace Jacobs of Cumberland, WI

I depict the human experience by sculpting daily life, from laundry to enjoying the lake. The clay I love has a colorful earthy guttural feel coated with the messiness of life. |
