Michelle Grimm approaches clay with curiosity, experimentation, and patience. Shaping by hand, Michelle explores diverse glazing and firing techniques, often incorporating organic materials and research.

Bethany Yorgason is a ceramic and resin artist inspired by the natural world. With over a decade of experience in pottery and about 5 years with resin, Beth found it so profoundly interesting and amazing to preserve nature through incorporating real flowers, insects, and organic textures into her work. Beth loves creating pieces that are slightly unsettling, but in a way that you can't help but see the beauty in it —each one completely unique.
