Janet is known for her colorful, beautifully decorated, functional pottery as well as for her whimsical fossil-inspired clay work. Her functional plates, cups, bowls, mugs and salt and pepper sets are made to be used in your home and are glazed in a variety of blue, red and purple colors. This work is made of high-fired porcelain and stoneware, fired to cone 10 in a gas kiln. She makes wheel thrown as well as hand built works, and they are glazed with tough, usable but yet lovely glazes. All work is food safe and lead free.

Janet's newest work, inspired by her 14 year old son, Jasper, incorporates fossils and mushrooms into the clay. It focuses on ceramic tidepools, marine life, and wild mushrooms, which have always been Janet's passions.

Jim is known for his “Mid Century Modern Plus” work: porcelain bowls, cups and teapots decorated with imagery reminiscent of Miro, Klee, Mondrian and Kandinsky. He also makes sculptural work that combines industrial images (gears, hooks, pulleys) with clay, glass and metal.

Forest To Fly: Jim's interest in fly fishing has also led him to make his Forest To Fly fly tying work benches, which incorporate beautiful hardwoods, metal and ceramics into incredible fly-tying work stations.
