Jan Hopkins Furness Artist Statement

Water, Clouds and Reflections

Growing up in rural southern Wisconsin, living on a mountainside in upstate New York, having a home overlooking the Mississippi River south of Prescott and appreciating photographic images taken by my husband, I have been inspired to paint water, clouds and reflections.  Having no formal art education I appreciate the support and kind critiques of the artists of The Little Colony Art Group of Prescott with whom I have painted for the last year and a half. After retiring from a professional career I am following my passion.

Jeff Wilson Artist Statement

I like to create functional stoneware with the occasional dabble into Raku.  However there are still the moments where caution goes to the wind and something strange is created. Cone 6 stoneware with electric firing is mostly how things happen in my studio. I create my own glazes for the most part as well (which can lead to some interesting results). Unless otherwise marked, all my glazes are food/microwave/dishwasher safe.
