Chris Hughes
Chris is completely self-taught and did not begin his woodcarving until later in life. A 50-cent instructional book bought at a Good Will Book Sale almost 20 years ago ignited his interest in carving. His love of animals, horses in particular, has been a great influence in his carving projects.
A sampling of the individually carved birds and animals available are:
●Hummingbirds
●Wrens
●Birds of Prey
●Horses
●Other Livestock
●Deer
●Squirrels
●Turtles
●Kangaroos

David Morgan
Though he works in the functional tradition, David considers his work to be more contemporary than traditional in effect. He draws inspiration from nature, integrating natural motifs and patterns such as carved leaves, fish and birds into his pieces. He often carves the outside of the piece using a scraffito (also "sgraffito") technique in which a layer of clay is painted on the outside and then carved through to show the contrasting color underneath. He also draws and paints on many of his pieces with clay slip.
David Morgan has been making functional stoneware for 30 years.

Jennifer Manzella - Junkhaus Designs, Athens, GA
I've always had a real strong connection to the outdoors especially the woods and landscape of the east coast and hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2003. After that my work took on a very organic aesthetic and I began using patterns and textures from plants and local plant materials. I like to think that now I'm living off the land through my artwork and my craft.
I became interested in making books and paper-making while I was a graduate student at UGA and in a study-abroad program in Cortona, Italy during the summer of 2005. It was here that I started making paper out of natural fibers and plants then constructing books out of that paper. When I returned to Georgia I began transforming things such as Kudzu, Canna Lily, and Okra into books and sculptural installations.
