Alison Bjorkman
Alison's forte is wheel thrown pottery. She is a function first gal - favoring the balance of form and use over 'that looks cool'. Her work has been described as clean and contemporary. She's been at it over 25 years and never tires of the wheel. Alison will be demonstrating wheel throwing through out the day and will help you throw (make) a pot if you wish to have a go. Her work will be available for purchase.
Lisa Ostendorf
Lisa loves to try new things ALL the time. She will be hosting the always exciting raku firing! This will be at set times throughout the day. You will get to experience Lisa's calm under pressure demeanor... but will also be asked to STAY OUT OF THE WAY... haha - she's a delight and will be our social butterfly pulling people into trying new things. Her work will be available to purchase.
