It was in 1996 that my relationship with clay was
forever altered. I participated in a Raku firing — I was instantly
hooked. Before, clay was just a step in the process, now it's all about
the clay and its possibilities.
Amber Bradshaw — Columbia, MO
There is some indescribable "magic" that
occurs when a seemingly cold and lifeless lump of earthen clay is slapped
down onto the wheel head and the potter skillfully places hands upon
it to shape it into a beautiful and graceful vase, bowl, platter, or
pitcher.
Steve Bunton — St. Clair, MO
Jim & Melissa's fertile imaginations and hard-working
hands have created a unique line of friendly dragons in stoneware clay.

- oil lamps, incense burners, and drinking vessels.

Clay has proved to be an immensely enjoyable medium, capable of withstanding the whims of an imagination, yet still holds the capabilities of being functional.
Terri Balden — Mount Vernon, MO
Each piece takes several days to complete. The results are realistic sculptures, with each one having subtle differences that make them all one of a kind pieces. They are reasonably sturdy and can go outside. The lacquer coat keeps them from tarnishing. We have named each style of turtle and frog and look at each as an individual.
Janet Weilbrenner & Stacy Benesh — West Plains, MO
Throughout my life a myth has been emerging. Its
origins are to be found in ideas told me by relatives in my youth. They
suggested that my paternal Grandfather was an American Indian. Having
very little real information, I began imagining the elements of a personal
myth.
James Phillips — St. Charles, MO

my own glazes.
Tammy Clark — Dexter, MO

Although formal training provides depth and perfection of technique, the natural world is the continual source of my inspiration. The finish of Raku is a perfect complement to embellishments of horsehair, feathers, plant leaves and other natural materials I apply in the fashion of my Indian ancestors.

MO

owner Desiree Young who hopes to teach pottery and continue to produce
functional and sculptural works for area art and home stores.

Dennis Haugen — Kearney, MO

and marble found and quarried in Missouri, as well as sculpting in wood,

elements of design, when presented as three-dimensional pieces, offer
the viewer a glimpse of the past, set in the present, and preserved
for the future.
James C. Heck — Nixa, MO
I lean towards imperfect organic, simple forms and designs with our vineyard and the rural setting around my studio providing my inspiration. I strive to preserve a bit of nature, a certain texture that has to be touched or imprint that catches my eye in my creations.

I have been a studio potter since 1974, and I delight
in making pots for daily use. Much of my work is thrown, altered, and
then assembled with handbuilt additions.
John Preus — Rocheport, MO
Because clay is of the earth, it is developing within me an awareness of the sacredness and beauty of Mother Earth. It is forming a sense of fellowship and stewardship that we share with all life. The clay has become my voice to sing praise for the marvels of Creation.
Rita Seif — St. Louis, MO
I have great appreciation for beauty found in natural color and texture, and I relish the nuances that add depth and interest to my work. Often I find myself collecting sticks, vines, or rocks that may be incorporated into my art form.

The process of taking a piece of clay, forming it into something functional and useful, yet artistic, and then choosing just the right skin (glaze) to cover and decorate it, gives the artist the ultimate feeling of pleasure and accomplishment.

I throw, bend, fold, stretch and push clay in many
directions. Presently I am enthralled with aboriginal patterns in black
and tan on fun and functional ware.
