Fiddlin' Al plays clay like a fiddle

Cups by Al McCanless

 Al McCanless, aka Fiddlin' Al due to his formidable stringed instrument playing, does much more than fiddle with clay. He is a master of glazes and forms.

Louise Hobbs: Spreading her wings

After 25 years helping others to find their creative voice...

Louise Hobbs 2017

Louise has retired.  Now she is having fun making her own art and exercising the creative voice she's cultivated for years.

Her sculptural pottery can seem not-of-this-era. But it is as contemporary as it is expressive.

She enjoys figural work and also calls on historical forms for her inspiration.

Come see Louise, along with the other eleven ArtBrake! artists on June 10 and 11 in a beautiful indoor/outdoor setting. For more info...

Where there's Johnny Glaze, there's danger!

 There is nothing conventional, and everything smile-inducing, about Darren Powers' creations.

and after firing.

Darren's raku fired ceramics are not to be missed. It's best to see them up close and even better with Darren there to tell you how he does what he does. 

Don't miss seeing him, and eleven other artists, at ArtBrake! 2017. June 10-11 from 10am to 5pm. All at one location: the beautiful studio and grounds of Bluebird Farm. Find more info here.

2017 ArtBrake! - Twelve Artists in One Location

Spalted Maple Bowl by Jeff Clark

2017 ArtBrake! is coming!  We're doing things a little differently this year in hopes that we'll have the weather in our favor.  So this year, ArtBrake! will be June 10 and 11.

We are also going to make it easy on those who want to see all of our artists but have a hard time getting to every stop.  This year we will all be at Linda Anderson's beautiful Bluebird Farm Studio.  Twelve artists (including Jeff and Jon Clark - new this year) will be in one location.

So start thinking about all the places and people in your life that need art.  There will be wood, jewelry, paintings, mobiles, garden art, sculpture, folk art, pottery...there will be a lot!

Looking forward to seeing your there!

Meet the Artist: Al McCanless

It's fun to see how the ArtBrake! artists are inspiring each other.  Here's a video of Al's pottery inspired by Carol Kroll.
