Artist of the Month:
Jessie Swihart
Jessie has been making and selling pottery since 2016 and has enjoyed continuing her craft in her newly renovated barn studio. She loves exploring new functional shapes and concepts on the wheel. Nature inspires her creative process and her studio reflects that. Recently, she has opened her studio by appointment to those who wish to learn or to those who need a space to work or fire their items. She also sells her items on line, in person at markets and occasionally from her barn.
