Jenn Stas
Jenn Stas is a longtime favorite of ours at Handscapes Gallery.  Her irrepressible spirit is well reflected in her joyous pottery.  We were delighted to get more of her very original work in the gallery.

Butterfly utensil holder








Jenn is a North Carolina Potter who believes that objects that we use everyday do not have to be ordinary.  Her complex pieces reflect themes from woods and sea, reflecting her love of the Carolina landscape.

Jenn Stas 
Lady Bug Vase










Her technique involves intricate carving and painting of each piece of pottery. Jenn enjoys the contrast of bright color against the earthy brown of the clay body.  Every piece is its own individual work of art, and is yet fully functional.

Jenn Stas

Jenn holds a BFA in Ceramics with a concentration in sculpture and fiber from Appalachian State University.  She currently resides in Wake Forest, and is a resident artist at Cedar Creek Gallery.  She also teaches clay at the Pullen Arts Center in Raleigh.

Candace Young
Candace Young
Candace Young's early education began in the basement where her mother sent her (often) to play or as banishment for doing rotten kid things.  Rita, her mother,  provided modeling clay and soon Candace had the distinction of having created the very best bunkhouse in the wild, wild west of Long Island, NY.  She made frying  pans with bacon and eggs and peas for a side dish.

Ripple Series Pot






Candace also had an assortment of cowboy clothes hanging in the closet, all made out of clay.  Her bales of straw in the barn were works of art and the apples and carrots for her favorite plastic horses were perfection.  Young also was master of mud pies and spent long hours sculpting mud things. 

 
Sunset liquid expansion glass pot











She didn't know that you could actually get a degree in mud pies until she had already chosen her other favorite thing, music. The availability of music jobs in the 70s was zero which led her to Special Education which led her to clay.  Took a six week class on Staten Island, NY, bought a wheel and never looked back.
