Neil’s pots are totems of his existence. With the capacity to communicate conceptual meaning and to serve as beautiful objects of utility, pottery not only dances in the notorious territory between art and craft, it embodies the human spirit. He has a profound fascination with the kaleidoscopic histories of pottery and he uses the pot as a foundation upon which to build his ideas and inspirations. Just as ancient makers deified and worshiped the natural world around them through abstraction and symbolism in objects, Neil translates his own reality using the pottery form to reflect on my experiences and influences creating an outlet to express the beauty and absurdity that is life.

Nyx Eckmayer is interested in the interplay between sculpture, modeling, and functional ceramic work. They draw inspiration from Dungeons and Dragons, Muppets, working in the haunted house industry, alternative culture, and the American folk-art tradition of face jugs. Nyx’s work has a variety of firing styles and finishes; They strive to make each of my pieces an individual work of art. They do this to emphasize the diversity of individual experiences that make up our society.

Tried something different for the preheat this firing. We setup a propane burner and I ran the preheat on wood chips with the burner on low. When the wood is delivered we always get tons of wood chips as well. It is always a problem but I think we now have a solution. Burn 'em!
