Laura Orvieto

"My Stoneware Vessels and sculptural pieces are all created using a method called hand building. Rather than using a pottery wheel to build my forms, I extrude coils (ropes) of clay. I start off with a half inch slab of clay as my base. I start each piece from the bottom of the form moving up, with my turn table and my most valuable tool... my hands. From this point I build up around the base, placing coils on the edge of this base and blending to make the two parts homogeneous. This is a slow and rhythmical process as the banding wheel is turned slowly and every part of the circumference is pushed and blended into each other using my thumbs. My interest is in exploring the language of form and volume and the challenge of working with textures and converging planes captures my interest. For me creating with clay is an inward journey of self discovery. Grounded to the earth with my hands immersed in the process, I remain in the moment, surrendering to my intuition and learning to trust in myself."

Adrian Arleo

I’ve always created sculptures that combine human and animal imagery in a variety of ways. Some of these works elude to a relationship of understanding or connection between the human and animal realms. In others, the human figures possess animal faces, limbs, or other features in a way that reveals something hidden about the character or primal nature of the person.

Adam Egenolf

I’ve been working with clay for a little over thirteen years. I got started by taking a college elective class at University of Southern Indiana. This is where I first learned about the process of crystalline. I then researched and tested the process until I got the results that I was content with. The crystalline glazing process is a constant learning process and I will always be researching new glazes and techniques to use. This constant learning process led me to receive my BS in studio art from University of Southern Indiana and my Masters of Fine Art in Ceramics from East Carolina University. I currently reside in Nineveh, Indiana with my wife Barbie and son Archer and work from my home studio.
