Claire Weissberg, a native New Yorker, studied pottery with Clary Illian in Iowa, and with Chiyoichi Shimizu in Japan. She received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and currently makes urban folk pottery full time in her Brooklyn studio.Claireware is functional porcelain made by Claire Weissberg in Brooklyn, New York. It is microwave, dishwasher and oven safe, but it is recommended that Claireware not be placed in a preheated oven. The glazes are lead-free and safe for food. Since Claireware is hand-thrown, carved, and fired to cone 6, there will be some variation in shape, size, and color from order to order. However, all work that leaves the studio must meet the same high standards.

Donna Polseno was born in Connecticut, where she grew up fascinated by her father's work as a painter and illustrator. When she went off to The Kansas City Art Institute it was to become a painter like him, until the chance exposure to ceramics lead her into the pottery shop where Ken Ferguson and Victor Babu were teaching. The great creativity, passion and energy of that place and time lead to a lifetime commitment to clay."My current pottery is the result of a long and multi-facetted personal history of object making. I have followed a reasonably linear, but somewhat meandering path of making functional pottery, abstract vessels, figurative sculpture, figurative sculptures holding classical pottery forms, to the making of functional pottery again."

Laura's work is "hand built and slip cast with low fire white earthenware and glazed with non-toxic low fire glazes. The images are original pencil drawings drawn by the artist. The images are then printed with enamel and become a ceramic transfer. The images are then individually collaged to each piece and fired permanently to the surface. This technique is a modern version of what was once called transferware, first introduced in the 1700s. Each piece is individually made and variations may occur during the kiln firing. Glaze colors tend to vary slightly and size is approximate due to shrinkage."

"I began creating tableware with a passion for food, home and a way of living. It is this passion that drives my designs and my need to share it with the world. Even everyday rituals like a morning cup of coffee should be enjoyed from a wonderful piece of artwork pretending to be a cup. I love combining strong patterns, color, luscious metal finshes, black glazes and carved textures. I continue to explore how far I can take a functional form into fantasy. My creations serve as art pieces, existing on their own, or functioning as practical pieces for everyday use."

"What keeps me engaged in the making of pots is the rich, complex process of ceramics. The materials, kilns, firings, and the rhythm of the studio have become a comfortable part of my life, almost akin to a refuge."

Alison studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the California College of Arts and Crafts, where she received her BFA in ceramics. She strives "to achieve a lighthearted [union] of the human and animal form" in what she calls anthropomorphic figures. Although she has a commercial line of wares-often imbued with a sense of whimsy and humor-she said that her sculptural work is just as important.
"The pieces in the show are what I call transformational," Ms. Palmer said from her Warren studio. "They are animals with people-like features-anthropomorphic figures. The animals are transforming into people, or people into animals, depending on how the viewer deciphers them.

Each of Miles' gargoyles is an original, conceived and executed by himslef. No molds are used, hence no two gargoyles are ever alike. Each is indiviually handbuilt in terracotta or high-fire stoneware clay. Miles has a M.A. in Classical Antiquity and has been sculpting gargoyles in clay since 1975. His gargoyles are an outgrowth of his academic background in Graeco-Roman archeology plus his enthusiasm for Medieval art and architecture. Whereas his work takes the gargoyle carving traditions of these periods as its overall inspiration and touchstone, it does not replicate nor imitate actual historic examples.

The gargoyles and grotesques range from 6" to 12" in width. They are all one of a kind.
