About the Artists |
Helene Armitage has been creating handmade stoneware since wandering into a pottery class by accident while attending Mercyhurst College. She quickly fell in love with the zen-like process of manipulating clay from an unrefined state to the creation of a piece of art. Her preference is classic pottery shapes, including gently curved basins and thin necked bottles. Her experience includes teaching college level pottery classes, and in addition to pottery, she creates oil and acrylic paintings. Mark Tempelmeyer has been throwing pottery for a much shorter period of time, starting after becoming interested in the chemical process of firing clay and glazes. His pieces are inspired by feng shui, with simple lines in the pottery shapes, combined with complex glazing patterns. |
