Riverpoint Studio

After retiring from my job as a computer programmer working for a large company based in Southern California, I decided to explore different hobbies and settled on pottery after taking a class at Rogue Community College. I discovered a joy in creating something from a pile of clay. I try my hand at different types of clay work including functional ware, sculpture and garden items.  My studio is Riverpoint Studio in Merlin and I currently sell my pieces at various shows in the area including Clayfolk Show and Sale, Hugo Ladies Quilt Show and Southern Oregon Artist Show and Sale.  My ceramic pieces are now available for purchase at G Street Marketplace, 137 SW G St, Grants Pass, Oregon, Booth 45B.

Rosie Russell Pottery

My journey with clay began as a high school student and continued through college as I earned a BFA from the University of Nebraska in the 90’s.  I’ve recently returned to my muddy roots after some time away and have jumped back in wholeheartedly.  I find that I’m happiest when creating and my first priority in clay is to make work that brings me joy.  I love color, texture and exploring functional forms.  I also enjoy sculptural forms and using texture to express growth, curiosity, and tension.

I have been a potter since 2016, still in search of my niche. My journey began after retiring from a long career in the medical field. I had always wanted to explore pottery but could never seem to find the time. Once retired I took a community education pottery class at RCC joining a welcoming and inspiring community of artists, I was hooked.

My pieces include hand built creations, both slab and coil construction, and wheel thrown decorative and functional pieces. I enjoy experimenting/ playing with glazes and texture to enhance my creations.

Rudy, Lynita, & Anna Zajack

Rudy, Lynita and their daughter Anna,  work together in the studio making hanging bird ornaments for the garden, yard and home. The birds are decorated using molds, found objects and stamps, purchased and hand made. The birds are then stained and glazed in a multitude of colors. Rudy, a retired nurse, and Anna, a stay-at-home mom spend hours choosing the right glass, ceramic and metal beads to use before they bend the wire and let their inner Dr. Suess come out. Each bird is whimsical and one of a kind.

 

Lynita started in clay with a Saturday adult enrichment course 30 years ago. Rudy kept asking for a bigger bowl so she challenged him to take the class with her. Before long he was making bigger bowls and she moved to slab and multimedia. Their daughter, Anna, took classes in clay at Crater High School and was soon helping the teacher as a classroom aide.
