POTTERY

Chris Alveshere

An eternal love for cups has led artist and educator Chris Alveshere to create forms that are meant to be held, experienced, and appreciated from all angles, and countertop pots that allow for a vast range of function. Chris is also the co-owner of Workroom Montana, and Flecks + Specks, a ceramic grog business.

PRINT MAKING

Molly Brown

Using direct, often monochromatic relief processes, Molly Brown’s prints reward close observation and engage human relationships to nature through an interplay of material and process. Her prints use the craft traditions of relief print and handmade paper to create images that are place-based and organically informed by chance encounters with wildlife and landscapes.
