Wood Carver
Norm Brown
Wood art is my life. I am devoted to the use of traditional hand tools and carving techniques. I start with freshly cut trees, then study each log to determine its best use and the potential sculpture encased within.
I use local waste wood, that would be land-filled or burned, to create art that gives both visual and tactile pleasure.

Ceramics
Sarah Haven
Ceramics has been a part of my life for over 20 years. While working as a theatre major in college, I took a beginning clay class for fun and never looked back.
I have a studio in my home where I retreat from the daily grind and pinch pots to my hearts content. I find such pleasure in the solitude of my studio.
