A parisian artist happily settled in the Pacific NW. One of her unique
skills was miniature sewing which landed her the job of making all of the costumes for
"Coraline" in the Laika film. Using that skill set led her to creating miniature tea sets
using her new passion for porcelain and stoneware. She is also creates sculptural busts
that are beautiful and startling.

Shane, a lifelong Oregonian, started making pottery so he could donate simple
bowls for fundraising events in his Montavilla neighborhood. He found himself spending more
and more of his free time in his studio and people started making requests for cups, plates,
planters etc. Shane loves function and usability and his pottery reflects that. The Cone 6
stoneware and glazes he utilizes all come from Georgies!

Emily says "I have spent my life on the coast and all of my artwork has its roots in my love
of the sea. The sculptures in the 'Night Sea' exhibit explore how life is shaped by natural
cycles of contrast and change, from the deep ocean to outer space. I am a lifelong artist
with a passion for materials. My sculpture focuses on playful, interactive objects
with touchable, tactile surfaces". Come see all her creative forms.

Victoria Buchler

Victoria starts out with throwing a smooth, more refined object before covering the
surface with stained procelain
slip drips and underglaze brush strokes. In her current body of work,
process is communicatedthough decoration.
Victoria conveys her ideas by saying, "I have always been
interested in clay as a means of capturing a moment
in time. Marks of the maker's hand and tools can
help remind the viewer that another human being made their
favorite mug or the bowl that they eat
cereal out of evey morning. Marks chosen are less about a pattern or
image and more about the
process of making the mark and the material itself."
In our gallery during June, 2017:
Rafael Ordorica
For Rafael, "Pottery is a discipline in which your styles can change and evolve over time. Some days I feel like hand
building, some days I feel like throwing, some days I want to use coils, and others I'll just pinch stuff out real quick.The point is this, I don't really know what I am going to be doing with the clay until I get my hands on it. My creative process embodies this very idea; the relation between uncertainty an creation."
In our gallery during March, 2017:
Kristy Lombard & Patrick Horsley
