      <image:caption>Steven Summerville Guest of Wendy Wrenn My determination with my pots is to personally make a strong line of functional work either hand built or thrown with appropriate tools.  I combine my research in slip trailed earthenware from 17th century England with my affinity for bright colors.  This produces a body of work centered in tradition and always functional, modern and playful.  Since beginning my own work in 1980, my influences are art history, archaeology, animation, dance and nature.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hanna Traynham Guest of Abby Reczek The rural Blue Ridge Mountains shaped my interactions with the world and my artwork. I grew up closely observing natural growth patterns and cycles of transformation. I am inspired by intricacies of organic growth and structures of decay. I draw from sources as diverse as the rigid lace-like skeletal remains of a leaf and the fluid movement of water or flame. My ceramic sculptures refer to the asymmetrical balance of nature, imperfection and impermanence. I alter soft clay forms with curves that are gestural and inviting, balancing full form with skeletal voids. In the wood kiln, the accumulation of wood ash accentuates these voluptuous forms with colorful flashing marks and textural variations. From the prolonged and volatile atmosphere of the kiln, each piece emerges exhibiting nuanced surfaces and dramatic geologic distortions. Wood firing has informed the evolution of my aesthetic. The altering and intricate carving in my work requires patience, attention to detail, and serves to ironically and joyfully contradict the anticipated vagaries of firing with wood. I deliberately push my material limits. Seeking out avenues of the unexpected, I explore the thresholds of materials and processes. Merging refined skill with contingent systems affords compelling opportunities for continual transformation and growth.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Evelyn Ward Guest of Sarah McCarthy My pots are simple in form and surface design with architectural references. I try to make balanced functional pots that would be nice to have in the home for use or just be around. I really enjoy making pots and hope that they bring a little light to people’s lives. I’m currently working with a dark stoneware clay because I love the rich color of the clay body and wanted to have some areas of bare clay showing through on the surfaces of the pots. I’m using a printing technique called mono-print transferring to decorate the surfaces. I paint slip onto cut pieces of paper and then transfer them onto the pot making a design. I love the imperfections that this process leaves on the surface of the pot. And the clean lines I can get from the process. I started out as a printmaker and have always gravitated to the qualities of hand printed images.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Marsiella Catanoso - Guest of Abby Reczek Working with clay has always been my passion. It’s a material that’s been used for many generations throughout different cultures, leaving its mark in the world that we live in - especially my own. The pieces I create can be either functional or decorative, ranging from cups for coffee to flower brick centerpieces, to evolving my series into sculptural vases with more surface patterns to push my boundaries in design. My influences come from capturing eclectic objects that I’ve encountered in my travels. I’m inspired by brightly colored city murals and urban gardens from living in the city of Philadelphia, the rural landscape of wildflowers of the Blue Ridge Mountains in southwest Virginia, and the rustic facades of historical villas in Italy. I create my own silkscreen images, creating and manipulating textile pattern-like designs and then applying various layers onto the surfaces of my work throughout the ceramic process, treating each form as my own canvas.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Joey Sheehan - Guest of Josh Manning &amp; Hona Knudsen Joey’s experience, emotions, and surrounding are reflected in the shapes and surface of his work. The drifting and melting of snow and ice on a remote mountain-top, the smooth curves of the figure, and the erratic dance of a crowded bar are all seen at play in his work. Life and nature are beautiful, inspiring, and unpredictable, and Joey strives to achieve similar qualities in his pots. With form, rhythmic slip and intense glazing he pursues the relationship between an uncontrollable world and the people and objects influenced by it. Using fluid and undisciplined slips and glazes, Joey’s pots are what he defines as “controlled chaos”. The work is intended to enhance the daily life of the user with functional beauty, but also to inspire thought about objects and lives in a world that may or may not be spiraling out of control.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jeff Diehl- Guest of Poor Farm Pottery “I was born with clay in my blood. My grandfather was a potter in New Jersey making mostly earthenware flower pots. He had clay shards everywhere which I quickly adopted as my own. My great grandfather was also a potter in Germany. His pottery was about an hour from where I studied there. I never really considered doing anything else but making pots. Most of my pots are functional, though I occasionally explore the non-funtional realm. I want my pots to be appealing to your hand, heart, and eye. I strive for beauty in function!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ron Sutterer’s Guest Artist - Stephen Palmer Stephen received his B.F.A. from Rhode Island College and continued his studies of sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of the RI South County Art Association and now at City Clay in Charlottesville, VA, he continues to explore the many forms and functions of clay. Through teaching, Stephen hopes to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in his students that he has for clay. Stephen’s pieces are influenced by Jules Verne and his many fantastic adventures. The surface design stems from finding beauty in the aged machinery of the industrial era, metal with a patina of rust and oil. The images and drawings are inspired by his nephews, who are a constant source of inspiration. The sculptural elements are from the things of childhood – a toy rocket ship, a plastic dinosaur, and robots, lots of robots.</image:caption>

In her early teens she began working at a local pottery studio and developed many skills in production pottery, as well as sculptural techniques. Her passion for sculpture blossomed into her own style and unique voice as a ceramicist. Reida soon turned her focus on figurative sculpture and the exploration of patterns found in nature and design, influencing her body of work that embraces the beauty of form and the nature.  Reida has traveled the world working on sculptural projects of various scales,  from ceramics, natural building  and relief murals, festival installations to monuments and memorials, she is equipped to take on almost  any creative endeavor in the sculptural arts.  She cares deeply for the continuation and preservation of the natural world. Her return to Floyd has given her the opportunity to delve deeper into her work as a ceramic artist, movement artist and nature lover. She has a home studio in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains with her partner and their two pets.  May our relationship with the earth be one in harmony with nature in all our creative pursuits. ~Reida Sage</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wendy Werstlein’s Guest Artist - Celena Burnett Growing up in a small town in SC, my only exposure to the arts was through my family.  My father had a deep love of photography and my happiest memories are being in his darkroom helping him develop black and white photographs.  My grandmother sewed our clothes using colorful and texturally interesting fabrics which had a significant impact on me.  Those early experiences sparked something in me and I knew I needed to create!  It wasnt until my college years, meeting like-minded souls and experimenting with all forms of art that my world opened up and I had my first encounter with clay. That sensation was like nothing I had felt before and I felt completely at home with the medium. Clay allows me to satisfy my desire to get dirty and play. It fills my need to work with my hands by building and arranging parts and problem solving. I believe that what we do as humans matters and it is through the creation of art that we can come to understand ourselves.  I have long felt that an important role of the arts community is to build a culture of empathy and connection.  This idea has given my life purpose and my goal as a potter to create vessels that enhance a sense of joy, beauty and playfulness into everyday rituals ... to elevate the daily process of giving and receiving through a handmade piece of pottery.</image:caption>

I want what is visually exciting also to be what physically allows the work to stand.

      <image:caption>Agnes Seebass Invited by Silvie Granatelli My Jewelry collection are mostly 3-dimentional, sculptural hand-fabricated wearable objects. I play with geometric forms, lines, textures and contrasts. Many designs happen while manipulating metal without a previous sketch. One of my favorite shapes is the universal symbol of a circle which can be found in myriad variations in my pieces. Since a few years working as an instructor at an Austin Jewelry School has become a second professional passion. I do one-of-a-kind and small series mostly in Sterling silver, often with oxidation and combined with 22K- or 24K-Gold details. My workbench is my favorite of all places.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jennifer Gandee Invited by Guzovsky/Denniston The images and patterns on my pots derive from nature.  I’m constantly looking to photograph the perfectly silhouetted tree, flower, or patch of grass.  I think of the compositions as miniature landscapes and use the glazes to imitate atmospheric effects in the sky. I take these pictures while on a walk, bike ride, and sometimes, when I least expect to be inspired, driving home from work or the grocery store at sunset.   My pots are made by wheel-throwing and hand-building porcelain clay.  After an initial bisque firing, I glaze the pieces and fire them to 2260 degrees. I manipulate my original photographs digitally, using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and print onto special decal paper using my laser printer.  The toner from the printer has enough iron oxide in it so that when I apply these decals to my work and re-fire them, the iron permanently melts into the glaze.  All of the work is food, microwave, and dishwasher safe.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Royce Yoder Invited by Ron Sutterer I’ve always made functional pots.  I enjoy the rhythm and flow of making large groups of work. There is something very satisfying to me to see shelves full of glistening, wet pots at the end of a day of throwing.  I also like the discipline it takes to produce the amount of work required to survive, and in part, support my family.   The challenge lies in change.  It’s easy to ignore the development of new ideas in favor of being safe and familiar.  I try to tweak the details as much as possible; a new handle texture, a different shoulder, an altered form.  I also try to explore new glazes as often as possible while staying within the confines of what’s doable.  For me, this way of working has been rich and satisfying.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Marc Maiorana Invited by Silvie Granatelli Marc Maiorana Studio promotes modern designs in hand-formed iron objects: transforming a bold material into everyday items that are innovative and inviting. My design process is influenced by the reverent sequence of steel manufacture; beginning with mass and drawing down and down and down into endless line. Initially I was trained in ornamental blacksmithing by my father, yet after college and a three year residency at Penland, my design senses focused on combining key material characteristics and form, specifically line quality. My studio is a hybrid of new and old techniques, combining heat, hammer, and hydraulics to reach an elegance often unassociated with a raw, structural material like steel.</image:caption>

She has exhibited in many venues nationally and abroad over the years. Her work has been published in numerous books and magazines and has been awarded various grants and awards. She is a founding member, along with her husband Rick Hensley, of 16 Hands.     Donna and Rick’s recent exhibition, “Duo”, at the Eleanor Wilson Museum, celebrated their 15 years of teaching ceramics at Hollins University.  Donna continues to co-direct the national symposium “Women Working With Clay” which she created at Hollins in 2011. Donna taught at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado last fall. She is receiving the Honorary Member Award at NCECA ( national ceramics conference ) this March in Sacramento.     Donna and Rick will return to their home in Liguria, Italy this summer, where they maintain a modest studio, and work with the local clay. They have taught many sessions at La Meridiana International School of Ceramics and have lived part time in Italy for 17 years.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Leanne Pizio Invited by Wendy Wrenn Werstlein When reflecting about my work and what inspires me, I am always drawn to nature. My childhood was one where I was lucky to live surrounded by woods.  A beautiful creek ran through my backyard. As a child I was an avid tree climber, snake catcher, animal lover, hiker, and also an artist.  We live again in a place surrounded by woods and I am often in nature.  We have many animals and their antics always inspire a sculpture or two. My functional ware is most often decorated with sgraffito (the process of applying a slip and carving it away to create an image) and the imagery reflects nature, animals, and sometimes a human or two. The shapes of my sculptures and large sculptural bottles and bowls are inspired by the forms I see in trees and water, sky and sand.  Being able to work in clay means everything to me. It is in the making of the work that I find my most inspiration. Clay is a passion and one of the great loves of my life. I feel blessed to be able to work with clay every day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Abby Reczek Invited by Silvie Granatelli Abby is a studio potter in Floyd, VA. She has been living and working in Floyd since 2013 after moving from her home state of Pennsylvania where she graduated from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. After leaving school she did a year-long residency at the Cub Creek Foundation in Appomattox, VA where she then learned of the little mountain town of Floyd and the apprenticeship offered by Silvie Granatelli. Abby did a two year apprenticeship with Silvie and then stuck around Floyd to continue her life in this community rich in the culture of craft. Abby’s pottery is made from a porcelaneous stoneware she carves her designs into and then inlays and paints on stains and underglazes. Her work is intended to reflect the brightness of nature while offering a comfortable vessel to incorporate in day to day use. She is inspired by the green fields, blue skies, and other subtle colors that surround the home where she lives and works.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Visting Artists</image:title>
      <image:caption>My current work involves a combination of carving, slip inlay and slip trailing, with colored slips, underglazes, and oxide washes, sometimes including impressed texture. By using a variety of surface techniques I feel very engaged with the pot. After many years of using only impressed texture, I felt the urge to explore other methods of surface decoration. Now I often incorporate more than one technique on each piece. Slip trailing and slip inlay, while very challenging, are exciting for me because it is much like writing and drawing, two things I love to do. These techniques of applying designs by carving into, or putting on top of the surface, instead of imbedding into clay, have allowed me to explore texture in a whole new way. I am inspired by the world around me. Nature, architecture, jewelry and bead design, pattern, especially fabric designs, are constant sources for me. I grew up around fabric and it continues to inspire my work. I have chosen to make functional pots because I appreciate food, celebration, and setting a beautiful table. In this "age of communication," where most communicating is done electronically, and so much food is being eaten out of paper, plastic or Styrofoam, my hope is to have my humanity show through my pots, by bringing some creative life into eating and drinking. A handmade pot contains the soul and energy of the maker, and when used, a human connection is made. These basic connections between people keep our souls alive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Visting Artists</image:title>
      <image:caption>My work is primarily influenced by my fascination with forms and their interior spaces, by color, and by my affinity for the sea and the allure it holds for me. I feel that we are all connected to the sea and to one another on a very primal level. I am particularly drawn to the tiny creatures found in tide pools: urchins, anemones, weird little brightly colored pod forms that seem to be somewhere between plant and animal.These pieces also appeal to my desire to draw focus to interior spaces. In nature, these forms often have dark or even dull exteriors, but on the occasion that they open up, there is a burst of unexpected color and beauty. I use traditional techniques, such as shell forming, piercing, and enameling as well as contemporary and experimental techniques like torch fired liquid enamels. This allows me to create very unique pieces that still speak to my passion for shape and form but highlight the organic nature of the liquid enamel as well. Traditionally, I have used kiln firing exclusively in my enamel work, but through adding the torch firing techniques, I am able to more precisely control the application of heat to the piece and can experiment with drawing the oxides of the copper base metal up through the enamel layer to create organic patterns and colors in a way that I have never been able to before. I find I am constantly inspired by the techniques I use and my desire to push them to new levels.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The joy of using pots every day goes hand in hand with loving to make useful pots for others to embrace in their daily lives. My current work focuses primarily on wheel-throwing using porcelain clay, and occasionally using stoneware clay, to make useful wares such as drinking vessels, bowls, plates and an assortment of pots that can be used in the kitchen for food preparation. The feel and the smell of the clay, the beauty of the wet pots, the variety of glaze results, and the making of new forms are all a part of why pottery-making is a compelling life pursuit for me. Knowing that others enjoy using those pots makes it all even better. The porcelain glazing this year explores a bright white glaze, also modified to make pale blue and pale green versions, having a soft, satin-feeling surface that is contrasted by the use of colored clear glazes on the same piece. The stoneware pots are glazed with our studio glazes that my husband, Will Swanson, uses for his pots: shino, carbon trap, white shino, my old 7-White from my early years, and occasionally a black/temmoku. The white that I use on the porcelain, and its soft blue and green variations, are also being applied to the stoneware with very interesting and pleasantly touchable results. Everything is high-fired in a gas reduction-atmosphere kiln.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Visting Artists</image:title>
      <image:caption>I began my explorations in clay almost 14 years ago. I was seduced by the material and the wheel, and the idea that I could create something beautiful and useful at the same time. My interest then fell into surface and color, using textural porcelain slips and layered glazes to create bright, flowing, and volatile surfaces. As I have grown and matured in life, my work has followed. I am still fascinated by glaze and surface, but with a higher understanding of form and flow. I am deeply influenced by classical shapes and why and how they were made. I attempt to embrace these studied forms but with a contemporary twist. In my current method of firing in a large two chamber wood kiln I am exploring the interaction between form and fire; building a relationship in the piece between the function, surface, and the story of the firing process. Each pot is made and placed in the kiln conscientiously with an expectation and openness. A desire for success, and a pupil’s acceptance of result.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I make my pots out of a proto-porcelain that is mostly wheel thrown, sometimes cast, and fired in a gas reduction kiln. There are elements of hand-building, extruding, and mold forming incorporated throughout the body of the work. In general I am more attached to the idea or form of a potential piece; this has led me to using many different methods of making. Inspiration for the work is as varied as life. It comes in many forms and at times completely random. I have a deep routed interest in historical Asian ceramics, namely 12th &amp; 13th century Chinese pottery. I continually find new avenues and elements of working from that era to incorporate into my pieces. Aside from the formal aspects of those historical works, I also find the concept of place based making and the use of local materials both captivating as well as challenging. I feel that a better understanding and appreciation of my materials will in the end help to produce a better piece.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For me, pottery is a blending of both function and aesthetic. While I am very attuned to form, color, and design, drawing much inspiration from nature, I also pay attention to the way my work feels to hold and how easy it is to use. I want the handles of my mugs and pitchers to have a comfortable grip, for example, and I curve up the edges of my plates slightly so sauces don't run off and peas don't escape. My pots each display evidence of the process I use to create them. In our society dominated by mass production and faceless corporations, handmade objects introduce human connections that I think we all yearn for. I want to draw the user in to look at the differences in subtle details of my work: the way the lines travel around the pot, the point at which they waver or are sharp and crisp or how the glaze breaks over a curve. I hope that the daily use of my ceramics will remind the user of the slower, handmade, and local aspect that they can choose for their lives.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Daily I create with my hands, exploring, experimenting, moving the clay, making a living. In the studio I enjoy the repetition as much as the exploration of new forms and surface designs. I am full of gratitude that creativity continues to move in me daily. Making and using pots to me is learning to see, learning to pause, to share, to see beauty. My work is exploring the surface balance of a natural patina and vivid color. The natural patina is clay showing its rawness and its depth. The bright surface colors are influenced by my living and traveling in Latin America and the colorful textiles, fabrics, people, and birds that I have come to know and love. The surface designs are influenced by my daughter’s drawings and the naturalness of children’s art. I teach and work with children weekly because they uplift me and bring me hope. There is something whimsical and pure in children’s perspective and creativity that continues to inspire me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I make pots in a small studio on the French Broad River in Asheville. My pots speak to the historical nature of function and beauty found evident in many cultures. The forms I make are deeply influenced by tradition but with a contemporary twist on surface and texture. Each pot is hand made with high fire North Carolina stoneware clays, porcelain slips, and over seventeen different glazes. My pots are fired in my two chamber wood kiln at my home in Madison County, with wasted wood from various local sources. Pots in the front chamber are naturally coated with wood ash and flame during the firing for unique flashing and individual surface. The second chamber is filled with glaze ware and heated to cone ten in a reduced atmosphere by the escaping heat and flame from the front chamber. My entire firing last for two full days.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My work focuses on image, pattern and decoration in order to reference ornamentation and historical jewelry. As a maker, it is my intention to challenge the conventions of handmade jewelry through the use of inexpensive materials and new approaches to design and surface decoration. By combining the handmade with the industrial and the digital, I aim to produce pieces that speak to the past, present and future of Craft while maintaining familiar identity between the viewer/wearer and the object.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I make hand-built earthenware vessels that draw on the quiet, minimal forms of basic function, such as basins, troughs and baskets. Surfaces emphasize the subtleties of material, process and firing as the primary decorative elements – dragged grog, finger marks, the layering of slips and terra sigillata, and the dulled whites and blacks that come from reduction firing at a low temperature. Smaller pieces like plates, cups, mugs and bowls are wheel-thrown, then scraped and pared down in form and reduction fired. Most recently I have been pulling from my long love of textiles to add pattern and color to this smaller work.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Making pottery is a lifestyle choice as much as it is a career choice…it is an integrated way of living, where work and play and everyday life all dissolve into each other and that suits me. It also allows for a great deal of variety: not only do I make pots, but I teach workshops, exhibit, write a blog and promote a show. My own pleasure in making pots is made all the better by the pleasure that they bring to others. The opportunity to meet and talk with my customers brings me great satisfaction. I enjoy the aesthetic challenges of making pots as well as the physical labor that being a potter and firing with wood entails. It is important to me that my work be finely crafted and made to a very high standard. I love the architectural qualities of clay, the permanence of stoneware, and the sweet magic that occurs when good pots, good food and good people come together!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The intricacy and resilience of nature, is the core inspiration for my work. For more than a decade, I have experimented with printmaking, and most recently focused on eco-printing, relief processes, and local plant-based dyes to render works that both document and celebrate my immediate surroundings. The resulting impressions are incorporated into art quilts, textile collages, artist books, and other objects. I strive to capture the sense of awe and contentment experienced when we take the time to observe minute elements in our path, be it an unfurling fern frond, a broken butterfly wing, or a translucent seedpod. By paying attention to the beauty around us we will find it easier to appreciate—and want to protect—the environment as a whole.</image:caption>

The impact of living in the mountains, walking in the woods, taking care of our goats, dogs, growing food and medicinal herbs comes through our work in texture, colors and movement.  The Bennetts lived  in rural Alaska for 20 years developing their style of glass work, living so far from supply stores and freight being so costly  they  incorporated 4 wheeler and snow machine parts with their glasswork. These were their jewels instead of faceted glass or glass bevels. We both studied at Sierra Nevada College focusing on Alternative Energy Sources, Art (specifically stained glass with Sequoia Studios)  and Environmental Sciences.</image:caption>

She then spent a decade in the San Francisco Bay Area learning, teaching, and building community through clay. Since returning to the Southeast in 2022, she has been exploring new connections to this craft in a region where its history is deep and rich. Her work is fired in wood kilns and often incorporates wild clay and other local materials. She was an artist in residence at Cub Creek Foundation in Virginia in 2022 and at Township 10 in Marshall, North Carolina in 2024.

In 2018 she built a wood kiln at her home in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Bedford County, Virginia.  Her work is available at her studio. "Being in relation with clay is one of the most primal experiences, a connection to the literal foundation of all things. In my long walks around the woods where I live in Virginia, I see the surfaces of my pots reflected. Each piece is touched with feelings of nostalgia for my homeland. My work is functional and is fired in a wood kiln."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hanna Traynham Guest of Abby Reczek The rural Blue Ridge Mountains shaped my interactions with the world and my artwork. I grew up closely observing natural growth patterns and cycles of transformation. I am inspired by intricacies of organic growth and structures of decay. I draw from sources as diverse as the rigid lace-like skeletal remains of a leaf and the fluid movement of water or flame. My ceramic sculptures refer to the asymmetrical balance of nature, imperfection and impermanence. I alter soft clay forms with curves that are gestural and inviting, balancing full form with skeletal voids. In the wood kiln, the accumulation of wood ash accentuates these voluptuous forms with colorful flashing marks and textural variations. From the prolonged and volatile atmosphere of the kiln, each piece emerges exhibiting nuanced surfaces and dramatic geologic distortions. Wood firing has informed the evolution of my aesthetic. The altering and intricate carving in my work requires patience, attention to detail, and serves to ironically and joyfully contradict the anticipated vagaries of firing with wood. I deliberately push my material limits. Seeking out avenues of the unexpected, I explore the thresholds of materials and processes. Merging refined skill with contingent systems affords compelling opportunities for continual transformation and growth.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Evelyn Ward Guest of Sarah McCarthy My pots are simple in form and surface design with architectural references. I try to make balanced functional pots that would be nice to have in the home for use or just be around. I really enjoy making pots and hope that they bring a little light to people’s lives. I’m currently working with a dark stoneware clay because I love the rich color of the clay body and wanted to have some areas of bare clay showing through on the surfaces of the pots. I’m using a printing technique called mono-print transferring to decorate the surfaces. I paint slip onto cut pieces of paper and then transfer them onto the pot making a design. I love the imperfections that this process leaves on the surface of the pot. And the clean lines I can get from the process. I started out as a printmaker and have always gravitated to the qualities of hand printed images.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Marsiella Catanoso - Guest of Abby Reczek Working with clay has always been my passion. It’s a material that’s been used for many generations throughout different cultures, leaving its mark in the world that we live in - especially my own. The pieces I create can be either functional or decorative, ranging from cups for coffee to flower brick centerpieces, to evolving my series into sculptural vases with more surface patterns to push my boundaries in design. My influences come from capturing eclectic objects that I’ve encountered in my travels. I’m inspired by brightly colored city murals and urban gardens from living in the city of Philadelphia, the rural landscape of wildflowers of the Blue Ridge Mountains in southwest Virginia, and the rustic facades of historical villas in Italy. I create my own silkscreen images, creating and manipulating textile pattern-like designs and then applying various layers onto the surfaces of my work throughout the ceramic process, treating each form as my own canvas.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Joey Sheehan - Guest of Josh Manning &amp; Hona Knudsen Joey’s experience, emotions, and surrounding are reflected in the shapes and surface of his work. The drifting and melting of snow and ice on a remote mountain-top, the smooth curves of the figure, and the erratic dance of a crowded bar are all seen at play in his work. Life and nature are beautiful, inspiring, and unpredictable, and Joey strives to achieve similar qualities in his pots. With form, rhythmic slip and intense glazing he pursues the relationship between an uncontrollable world and the people and objects influenced by it. Using fluid and undisciplined slips and glazes, Joey’s pots are what he defines as “controlled chaos”. The work is intended to enhance the daily life of the user with functional beauty, but also to inspire thought about objects and lives in a world that may or may not be spiraling out of control.</image:caption>

He had clay shards everywhere which I quickly adopted as my own. My great grandfather was also a potter in Germany. His pottery was about an hour from where I studied there. I never really considered doing anything else but making pots. Most of my pots are functional, though I occasionally explore the non-funtional realm. I want my pots to be appealing to your hand, heart, and eye. I strive for beauty in function!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ron Sutterer’s Guest Artist - Stephen Palmer Stephen received his B.F.A. from Rhode Island College and continued his studies of sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of the RI South County Art Association and now at City Clay in Charlottesville, VA, he continues to explore the many forms and functions of clay. Through teaching, Stephen hopes to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in his students that he has for clay. Stephen’s pieces are influenced by Jules Verne and his many fantastic adventures. The surface design stems from finding beauty in the aged machinery of the industrial era, metal with a patina of rust and oil. The images and drawings are inspired by his nephews, who are a constant source of inspiration. The sculptural elements are from the things of childhood – a toy rocket ship, a plastic dinosaur, and robots, lots of robots.</image:caption>

In her early teens she began working at a local pottery studio and developed many skills in production pottery, as well as sculptural techniques. Her passion for sculpture blossomed into her own style and unique voice as a ceramicist. Reida soon turned her focus on figurative sculpture and the exploration of patterns found in nature and design, influencing her body of work that embraces the beauty of form and the nature.  Reida has traveled the world working on sculptural projects of various scales,  from ceramics, natural building  and relief murals, festival installations to monuments and memorials, she is equipped to take on almost  any creative endeavor in the sculptural arts.  She cares deeply for the continuation and preservation of the natural world. Her return to Floyd has given her the opportunity to delve deeper into her work as a ceramic artist, movement artist and nature lover. She has a home studio in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains with her partner and their two pets.  May our relationship with the earth be one in harmony with nature in all our creative pursuits. ~Reida Sage</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wendy Werstlein’s Guest Artist - Celena Burnett Growing up in a small town in SC, my only exposure to the arts was through my family.  My father had a deep love of photography and my happiest memories are being in his darkroom helping him develop black and white photographs.  My grandmother sewed our clothes using colorful and texturally interesting fabrics which had a significant impact on me.  Those early experiences sparked something in me and I knew I needed to create!  It wasnt until my college years, meeting like-minded souls and experimenting with all forms of art that my world opened up and I had my first encounter with clay. That sensation was like nothing I had felt before and I felt completely at home with the medium. Clay allows me to satisfy my desire to get dirty and play. It fills my need to work with my hands by building and arranging parts and problem solving. I believe that what we do as humans matters and it is through the creation of art that we can come to understand ourselves.  I have long felt that an important role of the arts community is to build a culture of empathy and connection.  This idea has given my life purpose and my goal as a potter to create vessels that enhance a sense of joy, beauty and playfulness into everyday rituals ... to elevate the daily process of giving and receiving through a handmade piece of pottery.</image:caption>

I want what is visually exciting also to be what physically allows the work to stand. I enjoy the basket form and the opportunities that handles provide connecting interior and exterior and drawing intersecting circles.  Serving pieces also interest me as they allow for a slightly bigger scale and create intimacy as well as community.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Agnes Seebass Invited by Silvie Granatelli My Jewelry collection are mostly 3-dimentional, sculptural hand-fabricated wearable objects. I play with geometric forms, lines, textures and contrasts. Many designs happen while manipulating metal without a previous sketch. One of my favorite shapes is the universal symbol of a circle which can be found in myriad variations in my pieces. Since a few years working as an instructor at an Austin Jewelry School has become a second professional passion. I do one-of-a-kind and small series mostly in Sterling silver, often with oxidation and combined with 22K- or 24K-Gold details. My workbench is my favorite of all places.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jennifer Gandee Invited by Guzovsky/Denniston The images and patterns on my pots derive from nature.  I’m constantly looking to photograph the perfectly silhouetted tree, flower, or patch of grass.  I think of the compositions as miniature landscapes and use the glazes to imitate atmospheric effects in the sky. I take these pictures while on a walk, bike ride, and sometimes, when I least expect to be inspired, driving home from work or the grocery store at sunset.   My pots are made by wheel-throwing and hand-building porcelain clay.  After an initial bisque firing, I glaze the pieces and fire them to 2260 degrees. I manipulate my original photographs digitally, using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and print onto special decal paper using my laser printer.  The toner from the printer has enough iron oxide in it so that when I apply these decals to my work and re-fire them, the iron permanently melts into the glaze.  All of the work is food, microwave, and dishwasher safe.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Royce Yoder Invited by Ron Sutterer I’ve always made functional pots.  I enjoy the rhythm and flow of making large groups of work. There is something very satisfying to me to see shelves full of glistening, wet pots at the end of a day of throwing.  I also like the discipline it takes to produce the amount of work required to survive, and in part, support my family.   The challenge lies in change.  It’s easy to ignore the development of new ideas in favor of being safe and familiar.  I try to tweak the details as much as possible; a new handle texture, a different shoulder, an altered form.  I also try to explore new glazes as often as possible while staying within the confines of what’s doable.  For me, this way of working has been rich and satisfying.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Marc Maiorana Invited by Silvie Granatelli Marc Maiorana Studio promotes modern designs in hand-formed iron objects: transforming a bold material into everyday items that are innovative and inviting. My design process is influenced by the reverent sequence of steel manufacture; beginning with mass and drawing down and down and down into endless line. Initially I was trained in ornamental blacksmithing by my father, yet after college and a three year residency at Penland, my design senses focused on combining key material characteristics and form, specifically line quality. My studio is a hybrid of new and old techniques, combining heat, hammer, and hydraulics to reach an elegance often unassociated with a raw, structural material like steel.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Leanne Pizio Invited by Wendy Wrenn Werstlein When reflecting about my work and what inspires me, I am always drawn to nature. My childhood was one where I was lucky to live surrounded by woods.  A beautiful creek ran through my backyard. As a child I was an avid tree climber, snake catcher, animal lover, hiker, and also an artist.  We live again in a place surrounded by woods and I am often in nature.  We have many animals and their antics always inspire a sculpture or two. My functional ware is most often decorated with sgraffito (the process of applying a slip and carving it away to create an image) and the imagery reflects nature, animals, and sometimes a human or two. The shapes of my sculptures and large sculptural bottles and bowls are inspired by the forms I see in trees and water, sky and sand.  Being able to work in clay means everything to me. It is in the making of the work that I find my most inspiration. Clay is a passion and one of the great loves of my life. I feel blessed to be able to work with clay every day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Abby Reczek Invited by Silvie Granatelli Abby is a studio potter in Floyd, VA. She has been living and working in Floyd since 2013 after moving from her home state of Pennsylvania where she graduated from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. After leaving school she did a year-long residency at the Cub Creek Foundation in Appomattox, VA where she then learned of the little mountain town of Floyd and the apprenticeship offered by Silvie Granatelli. Abby did a two year apprenticeship with Silvie and then stuck around Floyd to continue her life in this community rich in the culture of craft. Abby’s pottery is made from a porcelaneous stoneware she carves her designs into and then inlays and paints on stains and underglazes. Her work is intended to reflect the brightness of nature while offering a comfortable vessel to incorporate in day to day use. She is inspired by the green fields, blue skies, and other subtle colors that surround the home where she lives and works.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Visting Artists</image:title>
      <image:caption>My current work involves a combination of carving, slip inlay and slip trailing, with colored slips, underglazes, and oxide washes, sometimes including impressed texture. By using a variety of surface techniques I feel very engaged with the pot. After many years of using only impressed texture, I felt the urge to explore other methods of surface decoration. Now I often incorporate more than one technique on each piece. Slip trailing and slip inlay, while very challenging, are exciting for me because it is much like writing and drawing, two things I love to do. These techniques of applying designs by carving into, or putting on top of the surface, instead of imbedding into clay, have allowed me to explore texture in a whole new way. I am inspired by the world around me. Nature, architecture, jewelry and bead design, pattern, especially fabric designs, are constant sources for me. I grew up around fabric and it continues to inspire my work. I have chosen to make functional pots because I appreciate food, celebration, and setting a beautiful table. In this "age of communication," where most communicating is done electronically, and so much food is being eaten out of paper, plastic or Styrofoam, my hope is to have my humanity show through my pots, by bringing some creative life into eating and drinking. A handmade pot contains the soul and energy of the maker, and when used, a human connection is made. These basic connections between people keep our souls alive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Visting Artists</image:title>
      <image:caption>My work is primarily influenced by my fascination with forms and their interior spaces, by color, and by my affinity for the sea and the allure it holds for me. I feel that we are all connected to the sea and to one another on a very primal level. I am particularly drawn to the tiny creatures found in tide pools: urchins, anemones, weird little brightly colored pod forms that seem to be somewhere between plant and animal.These pieces also appeal to my desire to draw focus to interior spaces. In nature, these forms often have dark or even dull exteriors, but on the occasion that they open up, there is a burst of unexpected color and beauty. I use traditional techniques, such as shell forming, piercing, and enameling as well as contemporary and experimental techniques like torch fired liquid enamels. This allows me to create very unique pieces that still speak to my passion for shape and form but highlight the organic nature of the liquid enamel as well. Traditionally, I have used kiln firing exclusively in my enamel work, but through adding the torch firing techniques, I am able to more precisely control the application of heat to the piece and can experiment with drawing the oxides of the copper base metal up through the enamel layer to create organic patterns and colors in a way that I have never been able to before. I find I am constantly inspired by the techniques I use and my desire to push them to new levels.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For award-winning jewelry designer Agnes Seebass combining her contemporary cutting-edge design with ancient Mexican motifs was a natural progression. The clean lines and geometric shapes of her jewelry are a direct result of her German background as well as the influence of Mexican art from years of living and studying there. Agnes' sophisticated silver jewelry is perfect for the office or evening wear. She incorporates the philosophy that "less is more" in all aspects of her art, business and life.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The joy of using pots every day goes hand in hand with loving to make useful pots for others to embrace in their daily lives. My current work focuses primarily on wheel-throwing using porcelain clay, and occasionally using stoneware clay, to make useful wares such as drinking vessels, bowls, plates and an assortment of pots that can be used in the kitchen for food preparation. The feel and the smell of the clay, the beauty of the wet pots, the variety of glaze results, and the making of new forms are all a part of why pottery-making is a compelling life pursuit for me. Knowing that others enjoy using those pots makes it all even better. The porcelain glazing this year explores a bright white glaze, also modified to make pale blue and pale green versions, having a soft, satin-feeling surface that is contrasted by the use of colored clear glazes on the same piece. The stoneware pots are glazed with our studio glazes that my husband, Will Swanson, uses for his pots: shino, carbon trap, white shino, my old 7-White from my early years, and occasionally a black/temmoku. The white that I use on the porcelain, and its soft blue and green variations, are also being applied to the stoneware with very interesting and pleasantly touchable results. Everything is high-fired in a gas reduction-atmosphere kiln.</image:caption>

He carefully selects bright red Paduk, high contrast light yellow and rich black and purple poplar, red orange cherry and ‪deep purple‬ walnut. Rest assured that each bevel, each proportion, each angle, and each material has been overthought and he has enjoyed every step of the process, except the pricing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I began my explorations in clay almost 14 years ago. I was seduced by the material and the wheel, and the idea that I could create something beautiful and useful at the same time. My interest then fell into surface and color, using textural porcelain slips and layered glazes to create bright, flowing, and volatile surfaces. As I have grown and matured in life, my work has followed. I am still fascinated by glaze and surface, but with a higher understanding of form and flow. I am deeply influenced by classical shapes and why and how they were made. I attempt to embrace these studied forms but with a contemporary twist. In my current method of firing in a large two chamber wood kiln I am exploring the interaction between form and fire; building a relationship in the piece between the function, surface, and the story of the firing process. Each pot is made and placed in the kiln conscientiously with an expectation and openness. A desire for success, and a pupil’s acceptance of result.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Visting Artists</image:title>
      <image:caption>I make my pots out of a proto-porcelain that is mostly wheel thrown, sometimes cast, and fired in a gas reduction kiln. There are elements of hand-building, extruding, and mold forming incorporated throughout the body of the work. In general I am more attached to the idea or form of a potential piece; this has led me to using many different methods of making. Inspiration for the work is as varied as life. It comes in many forms and at times completely random. I have a deep routed interest in historical Asian ceramics, namely 12th &amp; 13th century Chinese pottery. I continually find new avenues and elements of working from that era to incorporate into my pieces. Aside from the formal aspects of those historical works, I also find the concept of place based making and the use of local materials both captivating as well as challenging. I feel that a better understanding and appreciation of my materials will in the end help to produce a better piece.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For me, pottery is a blending of both function and aesthetic. While I am very attuned to form, color, and design, drawing much inspiration from nature, I also pay attention to the way my work feels to hold and how easy it is to use. I want the handles of my mugs and pitchers to have a comfortable grip, for example, and I curve up the edges of my plates slightly so sauces don't run off and peas don't escape. My pots each display evidence of the process I use to create them. In our society dominated by mass production and faceless corporations, handmade objects introduce human connections that I think we all yearn for. I want to draw the user in to look at the differences in subtle details of my work: the way the lines travel around the pot, the point at which they waver or are sharp and crisp or how the glaze breaks over a curve. I hope that the daily use of my ceramics will remind the user of the slower, handmade, and local aspect that they can choose for their lives.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Daily I create with my hands, exploring, experimenting, moving the clay, making a living. In the studio I enjoy the repetition as much as the exploration of new forms and surface designs. I am full of gratitude that creativity continues to move in me daily. Making and using pots to me is learning to see, learning to pause, to share, to see beauty. My work is exploring the surface balance of a natural patina and vivid color. The natural patina is clay showing its rawness and its depth. The bright surface colors are influenced by my living and traveling in Latin America and the colorful textiles, fabrics, people, and birds that I have come to know and love. The surface designs are influenced by my daughter’s drawings and the naturalness of children’s art. I teach and work with children weekly because they uplift me and bring me hope. There is something whimsical and pure in children’s perspective and creativity that continues to inspire me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I make pots in a small studio on the French Broad River in Asheville. My pots speak to the historical nature of function and beauty found evident in many cultures. The forms I make are deeply influenced by tradition but with a contemporary twist on surface and texture. Each pot is hand made with high fire North Carolina stoneware clays, porcelain slips, and over seventeen different glazes. My pots are fired in my two chamber wood kiln at my home in Madison County, with wasted wood from various local sources. Pots in the front chamber are naturally coated with wood ash and flame during the firing for unique flashing and individual surface. The second chamber is filled with glaze ware and heated to cone ten in a reduced atmosphere by the escaping heat and flame from the front chamber. My entire firing last for two full days.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My work focuses on image, pattern and decoration in order to reference ornamentation and historical jewelry. As a maker, it is my intention to challenge the conventions of handmade jewelry through the use of inexpensive materials and new approaches to design and surface decoration. By combining the handmade with the industrial and the digital, I aim to produce pieces that speak to the past, present and future of Craft while maintaining familiar identity between the viewer/wearer and the object.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I make hand-built earthenware vessels that draw on the quiet, minimal forms of basic function, such as basins, troughs and baskets. Surfaces emphasize the subtleties of material, process and firing as the primary decorative elements – dragged grog, finger marks, the layering of slips and terra sigillata, and the dulled whites and blacks that come from reduction firing at a low temperature. Smaller pieces like plates, cups, mugs and bowls are wheel-thrown, then scraped and pared down in form and reduction fired. Most recently I have been pulling from my long love of textiles to add pattern and color to this smaller work.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Making pottery is a lifestyle choice as much as it is a career choice…it is an integrated way of living, where work and play and everyday life all dissolve into each other and that suits me. It also allows for a great deal of variety: not only do I make pots, but I teach workshops, exhibit, write a blog and promote a show. My own pleasure in making pots is made all the better by the pleasure that they bring to others. The opportunity to meet and talk with my customers brings me great satisfaction. I enjoy the aesthetic challenges of making pots as well as the physical labor that being a potter and firing with wood entails. It is important to me that my work be finely crafted and made to a very high standard. I love the architectural qualities of clay, the permanence of stoneware, and the sweet magic that occurs when good pots, good food and good people come together!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The intricacy and resilience of nature, is the core inspiration for my work. For more than a decade, I have experimented with printmaking, and most recently focused on eco-printing, relief processes, and local plant-based dyes to render works that both document and celebrate my immediate surroundings. The resulting impressions are incorporated into art quilts, textile collages, artist books, and other objects. I strive to capture the sense of awe and contentment experienced when we take the time to observe minute elements in our path, be it an unfurling fern frond, a broken butterfly wing, or a translucent seedpod. By paying attention to the beauty around us we will find it easier to appreciate—and want to protect—the environment as a whole.</image:caption>
