Steven Branfman: Steven has said that his concern is to make good pots, pots that hold uo to thousands of years of ceramic history. His work is about vessels and the characteristics that make them come alive, the volume, texrure, color and scale. Steven founded the Potter's Shop and School more that 25 years ago. He is the author of Raku: A Practical Approach and The Potter's Professional Handbook, as well as many articles relating to pottery.

Linda and Charlie Riggs: Linda and Charlie collaborate with each other to create unique surfaces on their pottery. Linda is motivated by the beauty of the natural world and by ancient cultures. Low-fire fuming techniques create clay surfaces that surfaces that resemble smooth rocks with organic patterns. The techniques also utilize the same ingredients and processes as ancient cultures resulting in a continuity of time, both in the form and in the creative process.

Marcia Selsor: As teacher and student, Marcia creats raku drawings on clay slabs of wild mustangs which symbolize the spirit of life in Montana. She utilizes latex with her glazes as well as feathers to achieve unique raku results.
