Laura Zindel


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."

Miles Thompson


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.

Tyson and Jessica Geib


Jessica Geib grew up outside of Luckey, Ohio and always wanted to make things and sell them. Tyson Geib grew up in Fremont, Ohio with some obsessive compulsive issues and an affinity for the tedious and the detailed, which eventually lead him to a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Bowling Green State University with a focus in ceramics. They met at a production pottery studio in northwest Ohio, where they were co-workers for five years before they realized they were perfect for one another. They decided to get engaged, and shortly after that, lost their jobs on exactly the same day. After getting thrown that curveball, starting their own pottery studio seemed the logical thing to do. Now they spend each day happily working together, utilizing their different and complimentary talents in an effort to make pots that are hopefully different from and complimentary to the objects you use and enjoy on a daily basis.
