Clay Fest 2026 Artist --- Rosanna Yang | Rosy Posy Studio

Rosanna has been dabbling in the world of ceramics since 2021. She enjoys creating art that marries her Hmong heritage with modern shapes and colors. Her pieces are often inspired by her culture's traditional attire, including silver adornments, colorful beads, ethnic motifs, and/or bright needlework. You will often find these mixed-media elements incorporated into her ceramic creations.

Clay Fest 2026 Artist --- Matt Straka | M & Em Studios

My work includes wheel-thrown functional pieces and hand-built decorative wall pieces. All of the work is made of stoneware, fired to cone 6, oxidation. The exterior underglaze is applied using brushes and stamps, and functional works include a liner glaze. The imagery reflects natural landscapes from the Midwest.

Clay Fest 2026 Artist --- Melissa Flynn | Free Will Pottery

Melissa Flynn is a ceramic artist focused on crisp lines and dynamic, flowy glazes. As a child, she fell in love with clay during art class—a fascination that only deepened over time. Seeking a creative change from her corporate day job, Melissa enrolled in an adult ceramics class, and she was hooked from the very first session.

Today, her work tries to capture a balance between beauty and function. Influenced by clean architectural lines, Melissa often incorporates slightly cantilevered features, pushing clay to its structural limits. To counterbalance these sharp, precise edges, she uses glazes that evoke a beachy, relaxed vibe—melding rigidity with fluidity in unexpected ways.

Melissa's evolving style reflects her relentless curiosity and passion for ceramic art. Each piece invites viewers to appreciate the tension between structure and softness, honoring both the predictable and the delightfully surprising.

Clay Fest 2026 Artist --- Amanda Jones | Serendipitous Designs

My ceramic work explores the fragile beauty of what it means to be alive. Each piece is a reflection of our human experience—imperfect, resilient, and textured by time and experiences. The surfaces of my forms are organic and flowing, yet some are cracked, distressed, or embossed—a merging of movement and texture. Soft glazes drift across forms, settling into folds and recesses where crystals bloom into tiny universes of color. Though we all feel broken at times, my work is a reminder that beauty often resides in the fractured low places where there is beauty to be discovered. When possible, I incorporate light, allowing a gentle glow to emanate from within, casting warmth and creating an ambient presence in any space.

Clay Fest 2026 Artist --- Michael Imes | Imes Pottery

Human beings have made and used vessels for thousands of years, for so long that they’ve taken on symbolic, archetypal meaning. My stoneware forms are explorations of these archetypes. As such they speak of growth and expansion, the capacities of holding and gestation, and the functions of gathering and offering.

The pinch and coil method of construction allows me to interact with the clay and to respond creatively in a process of discovery, facilitating the discovery of new vessel expressions.

Finished pieces are fired in high-fire reduction, wood, or soda kilns using stains, washes, and ash glazes to accentuate textures that often give evidence of the forming process and accentuate rather than decorate the forms.
