My name is Jill Leger, I started my creative expression with paper quilling, that lead to cake decorating and baking that lead to wool felting, that lead to acrylic paint pouring and origami paper folding! I love birds and gardens and am building a bird and flower sanctuary around my house!

Lucas C. May (he/him) is a friend of Artspace, working with us on the Community Ceramics Studio Project and as a hand-building ceramics instructor.
Lucas likes to make pots that he can see himself in and can relate to. Usually, they have some kind of mark or scar, a signifier of a journey. He finds inspiration in the materials he uses, many of which he sources locally by hand, and the processes themselves. His love and appreciation for the natural environment are a driving force of his creativity.

Sam is a potter with a fascination for just about everything. A few of his interests outside of making pots are: fly fishing, reading, taking care of my garden, and exploring the natural world.
