Will Abraham is a potter, tool-maker, whittler, and librarian. He is interested in atmospheric firing methods, combining materials, and visual representations of time. His handbuilt functional and sculptural forms use texture, layers of color, and ash to reference geology, botany, and archaeology. He enjoys firing soda and wood kilns almost as much as working with clay.

Dylan Atteberry is a native of Bellingham and a functional potter seeking to bring the joy of clay to everyday moments. His wheel-thrown, organic and brightly colored work communicates the softness of wet clay and molten glass. Dylan’s love of clay is only outmatched by his love of clay and glaze experimentation.

Carol wheel throws porcelain to make functional pots. She then uses these as a blank canvas in collaborative surface design with her eldest kid, Emiko May. Carol’s contribution to these pots are drawings of organisms, usually cats, fish, frogs, mushrooms or insects. Carol is just beginning to explore sculpting porcelain into human body parts.

Sara Young is an artist, a writer, a teacher, and a rebel leader. She spends lots of time wishing she were in nature, and the rest of her time is spent creating. While Sara is very much driven by materials, she is also prone to the occasional journey down various conceptual paths. As her curiosity is her compass, she has given up predicting where her creative journeys will take her, and her greatest hope is that she always has the freedom to continue down these paths till the very end of her days. Sara lives by her wits. Long may she have them.
