Robert Levin. I was originally attracted to hot glass because of its liquid qualities and sense of immediacy. I have always tried to capture an element of the elegance, fluidity, and whimsy which I feel are inherent properties of glass. I have often formulated my own glass, including the colors I use, and have generally used opaque glasses or frosted surfaces, which tend to emphasize the overall form of each piece. I have been working on a series of pieces that have marked a departure from my other studio glass work. These began by using glass, wood, and other materials in a very basic, visceral way. Robert Levin site.

Pond Branch Pottery. Pond Branch Pottery began in 1979 when Michael received the Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. This is reduction fired stoneware designed and made solely by Michael Rutkowsky at Pond Branch Pottery. Paying close attention to details he combines and layers surfaces of raw clay, clay slips, slip glazes, and glossy celadon glazes through trailing, brushing, combing, and wax-resist techniques to produce functional and decorative pots with contemporary appeal. Each piece is signed and dated by Michael; is non-toxic, safe for oven, dishwasher, and microwave use. It conveniently stores and reheats food and is easily cleaned. Guaranteed. Its uses are only limited by your imagination. Enjoy. Pond Branch Pottery site.

Found in homes, kitchens, baths and offices worldwide, her handcrafted pottery is colorfully decorated in a uniquely personal style combining oriental and majolica brushwork traditions.  Her designs include swirling calligraphic abstractions and fanciful representations of the natural world in striking color combinations. The Pot Hole site.

Sarah House. My pots are tall, short, wide, narrow, big, and small. They are for eating, drinking and for lighting the way. Some are just for looking and touching. They become old favorites for subtle reasons. You may not realize that it's your favorite, but you pull it out to use most often. I agree with many of my predecessors who believed that only through use and love did a pot have life. Only through using and eventually breaking and replacing a pot does one really understand that pot. I want my pots to be enjoyed by everyone from collectors to college students. Sarah House site.

Kathryn WalkerHouse.  Kathy began her work with tiles as a way to find a niche in the pottery rich area of the North Carolina Mountains. Mostly self taught, she has done tiles for a variety of projects from bathrooms to wall hangings to hearths. The majority of her work is done to order specifically for the site which it is intended. Currently she is working on a variety of projects including her first mural. She has also been concentrating on pots for bonsai, Ikebana, and bamboo. Kathryn Walker House site. 

Liz Zlot Summerfield. It's my pleasure to
introduce you to my work as well as give you some insight to my ideas. Currently, I am concentrating on two bodies of work. One consists of functional pots; which often take the form of cups, jars, and boxes. The second body focuses on referencing functional objects, and in turn recreates a new context for the everyday object. These pieces include baskets, totes, and pails. The common threads woven throughout both bodies of work are the creation of a handmade object, and the sensitivity to the construction process and material choice. Liz Zlot Summerfield site. 

Scott Summerfield Glass. Throughout this site, you will view hand crafted glass objects that range from large abstract sculptures to utilitarian objects such as paperweights and candlesticks. I create my work from my home studio, which is located in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. My studio is open to the public, and I encourage people to come visit, where one can watch the process of glass blowing and also tour the onsite gallery of finished works. Scott Summerfield Glass site.
