Ted is a master potter and teacher producing large and small scale work of his own design, both wheel thrown and handbuilt.

Ted started out studying chemistry. He ended up being an artist, drawn to the tactile sensations and aesthetic experience of working with clay. Unlike a lot of potters, he was captured by the chemistry of ceramics. He makes all his own clay and glazes, which allows him to manipulate his creations in ways a lot of potters can’t. Ted has been teaching ceramics for over 35 years. Over the years, his teachings have informed and enriched his art.

Ted was a professor of Ceramics for 35 years at State College of Florida. During that time, he gave numerous workshops within the state and at schools in the north. His work spans many categories including wheel and large scale hand built forms that focus on utility and/or sculpture and is in numerous private collections throughout the country.

Joanna received degrees in Art History from Harvard, Education and Fine Arts from the University of South Florida and her Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from Louisiana State University. Her approach to art combines the abilities of the applied and fine arts.

Lisa Markowski is a contemporary mosaic artist. Her process for designing fine art, mirrors and jewelry is evolutionary, driven by colors of glass and textures of diverse materials. She often starts with a specific piece of glass and then selects her subject and gathers potential materials – stained glass, tiles, millefiori, smalti, beads, stone, metal and pottery.

As she focuses on the interplay between color and texture, the work inevitably morphs many times. The original idea becomes more developed, the colors and shapes inspire her to go in different directions. The finished pieces are individual creations that she hopes bring joy.
