All pottery is hand built using coil, slab or pinch methods. Individual pieces are hand painted in under paints and then glazed to seal the design. Baskets are different in size and some are designed for use and others for show. All reeds are dyed by artist and chosen to give the basket an individual look.

I began my first jewelry business when I was 14. Following that early love, I studied Metal and Jewelry Design at Savannah College of Art and Design and have been evolving as a jewelry artist throughout my adult life. In 2010, I inherited a box of vintage feed sack fabric and began making jewelry out of it. That box of fabric, has led me to create, a mostly repurposed jewelry line. In my jewelry, you will find items such as; copper electrical wire, vintage clothing scraps, book pages and found objects. These one of kind items, help make my jewelry unique and are what makes my jewelry stand out from others.

White oak is the basis for all my baskets. Like the early American pioneers, I go to the woods and carefully select a tree that is suitable for basket material. All material for my baskets is hand made the old fashioned way by using hand tools such as axe, froe, drawknife and knife. Our baskets are functional and/or decorative. With care they will last for generations.

I photograph the places and objects people have built, repaired, neglected and refurbished, destroyed or re-purposed.

My photos imply and portray people through their possessions, their signs, their spaces and the stories told by the objects and marks they leave behind.

The actions recorded in the things and places we make tell more about us than a smile or a pose, and hide less.

I make stoneware wheel-thrown and hand-built pottery designed to be used in the kitchen, at the table and in the garden. Nature provides the inspiration for much of my work.

A bird carved by Bill Chrisman demands to be held. One may know the bird is made from wood and still have to touch it to make sure its feathers are not real. Attention to detail of each bird and delicate touch with paints results in a remarkably realistic bird.

I have been a professional woodturner for 35 years. My turnings are from wood I cut in Grayson County, Va. and are mostly made from walnut, cherry, and maple although any wood with an interesting grain pattern is fair game! I am a self-taught woodturner even though I do have a degree in Industrial Arts from Berea College in Berea, KY.

My cutting boards and baguette boards are made from wood from our farm in Glade Spring, Virginia. I enjoy working with wood to create something fun as well as functional. Each varies a bit with the natural grain of the wood. The only finish on the wood is mineral oil. An occasional good rubbing with oil will keep it happy!
The bird houses are pulled from my love of books and my imagination. The books that I use are all re-purposed and pulled from a sure end to life. They decorative and for indoor enjoyment only.

I have always been involved in artistic endeavors, and so I dabble in all things creative. Primarily, at this time in my life, I sew. I begged my Grandmother when I was six years old to let me sew on her new Singer machine, and she said I must wait until I was ten. I have never stopped, and the love of it has never left me. Mainly, I sew quilts, and almost entirely by machine. I love to enter quilt shows and challenges, and be with my friends in the Crooked Road Quilters' Guild. If I could not create, I would cease to be myself. The fulfilment of a finished work is a spiritual journey that my soul craves.

Using both additive and reductive processes, ink is painted on a plate with either a roller, brushes, tissue paper, pencil, erasure, rag, or fingers. The process continues back and forth, until complete in plein-air, on site.

The plate is then laid on the press and paper is laid on it. Rolled through the press by hand, the ink is transferred to the paper by pushing the paper over the inked plate. The image is rolled through the press only once, making the print one of one.

From the spare bedroom in a little house tucked into the Appalachian mointainside comes the sounds of an old sewing machine. Stitch...stitch... stitch... Turning bits of cloth into quilts, banners, coasters and an occasional work of art. Sometimes traditional, sometimes adventurous, always phenomenal.

I got hooked on glass as a medium three years ago after taking my first jewelry class. I love doing things that use a kiln, it is always like Christmas when you open them up. At least three layers of hand cut glass are carefully designed and placed in a kiln. It is then fired to 1500 degrees, slowly cooled to anneal properly, then reshaped if necessary and fire polished. I am finding glass a fascinating medium especially the dichroic, I always look for something new that someone will enjoy.

Cindy coal forges iron into decorative and functional art for the home and garden. Using traditional methods of heating, hammering, bending, and twisting steel, the pieces she creates include candle holders, towel bars, plant hangers, fire pokers, and of course ... HOOKS! of every shape and size.

I was given a camera at the age of five and immediately began taking pictures. I like to capture scenes for others to enjoy and also do something that I love. I have a profound love for nature and the rustic theme...mills, old barns, and farm scenes. I take photographs of scenes or objects that catch my eye. I take many different photos of the same scene or object, some from different angles to catch a different perspective. From those many photos, I choose the best one.

My work is high temperature salt-fired stoneware and porcelain. Most of the work is functional. At present my goal is to integrate pottery form with its surface decoration using geometric oriented designs. Whether intended for the kitchen, the table or the mantel, it is my hope that the pots will enrich the user's life.
