Chris McClelland – Ceramics

Chris is the studio host at Studio #3

Chris is one half of Clayhouse Potters, a husband and wife team that also does individual works to create some unique and delightful pieces. Chris has been involved in art professionally throughout her career. Right now she is doing mostly Craftsman style pieces. The clay I use for my pottery is a versatile stoneware. I like it because I want my functional ware to be microwave and dishwasher safe. I create functional kitchen and dining ware as well as sculptural work. All are decorated in our unique style for a fabulous look.

Morgen is a Guest Artist at Studio #2

Art is my therapy and a way to bring more light into the world. As a self taught jewelry maker and fiber artist, I pour love into every piece I create. Working from my cozy studio in Oregon City, I produce small batches that reflect my passion for craftsmanship and creativity. Each design tells a story, offering a unique touch to those who cherish handmade artistry.

Glass Studio #1

Kathy Kollenburn – Glass

Kathy is a guest artist at Studio #1

I started experimenting with fused glass in December of 2006. I have taken several in-person and online courses. I have also read many books and tutorials and experimented to make them my own. Glass has such a draw through the color and light it brings to its environment and is wonderful for both decorative & functional uses. I want to share the peace and joy I get from my creations with my customers and with those who take the time to look. I hope you enjoy my work.

Erin Redding – Ceramics

Erin is a Guest Artist at Studio #2

Erin Patricia Redding was born in Manhattan New York and lived on Long Island and at the age of twenty-seven moved to the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Her love of gardening led her to become an organic farmer and move west to Oregon. While working on a Transfer Degree at Clackamas Community College she found her love of ceramics while
studying with artists Katy McFadden and Nora Brodnicki. Through her formal education in clay, Redding found a deep spiritual connection to clay that led her to making hand built intuitive pieces and forms thrown on the wheel. She now owns “Herbal Earth Pottery” and has loved playing in the mud for decades

Erin creates unique hand-built and thrown ceramic forms inspired by her life experiences and connection to nature. Using clay to hand-build forms allows her to combine formal and exploratory techniques using plants and natural textures to create organic functional and decorative works imprinted with fine detail. Throwing pots on the wheel is more of a
spiritual process for Erin. “Centering the clay allows me to center myself. My “Boss Lady” wheel allows me the opportunity to reflect on daily challenges and changes in life that have come my way. The process of throwing has a way of softening the hard parts of my life. My left hand stays firm in my choices and my right hand symbolizes the outer pressures of life’s influence. Through this process I feel a connection to the universe that mingles control and collapse.”

All Artists Painting & Drawing Studio #2

Bonnie Moore – Watercolor

Bonnie is a host of Studio #2

I was raised in a rural logging and ranching community in Eastern Oregon. I developed a love and appreciation for the incredible gifts creation has to offer. I like to capture and share what I discover in nature that excites me, be it the colors, texture or subject matter.

I enjoy the transparency of watercolors. I like the challenges it presents along with the different papers, and mediums to create texture and special effects. My way of using line and color are to evoke a sense of mood and movement in my work.

I primarily use Watercolor paint on watercolor paper. I also paint on Yupo paper, Ceramic Boards and other materials. Salt, coffee grounds, and other materials are used for effect. Different shades of paint are used to draw a person into the image.

I also do commission work.
