Featured Artist: Susan Dewsnap
Susans wax resist lines, and circles, and curves, makes her designs cosmic and water-like in their pathways and flow. So Zen-like with a hint of chaos (isn’t that just a great description??). I am officially SMITTEN ❤️
Lora Rust
So, Lora Rust has now become my favorite person ever! She not only helped us pack, organize, and voluteered for our NCECA trip BUT she also is just genuinely a beautiful and wonderful person. PLUS, her Art Nouveau work is out of this world!! So many textures, and embellishments and just everything that’s wonderful. Make her your BFF as well. Plus, check out her show here on the website!
Susan Dewsnap studied at The Pottery Lab studio in Boulder, Colorado and intensive workshops at Haystack Mountain School in Maine and The Penland School in North Carolina. Growing up in Peterborough, New Hampshire, she received a BFA in painting from the University of New Hampshire and a MFA in ceramics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she also taught from 2008 through 2012. Susan’s experience also includes leading ceramic workshops at Penland School and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.
Galen’s interest in clay peaked during a year off from college when he began helping his father Ken in his studio and learning the basics of throwing, glazing, and firing.
