Johnine has been working in clay at Shelburne Craft School since 2010. During her time here, her work evolved from creating simple bowls to hand building and painting plates and figurines. Her work transforms her love of pop culture, silly puns, and B-movie monsters into bug-eyed ceramic figures and quirky tableware. “Each of my pieces start out as a thought that makes me laugh, and goes from there.” Johnine lives and works in Shelburne with her husband, children, and a rabbit named “Ozzy Osbourne”

I have often said that my greatest strength as an artist is my very low standards! I love learning new things, and the best way I have found is to get comfortable with being bad at them. My lack of focus means that whenever I have the opportunity to try something new, I jump at the chance, and I am always excited to pass on whatever I have learned! I have been making art in all kinds of media for most of my life. After growing up in Washington, DC, I moved here and graduated from the University of Vermont in 2013 with degrees in Studio Art and Classical Civilizations. I have worked in clay, paint, charcoal, ink, glass, fiber, wood, watercolor, and anything else I can think of! I work as a baker and, occasionally, as a yoga teacher and live in South Burlington with my spouse, our cats, and arguably too many plants.

-After graduating from University of Vermont with a BFA in Art Barbara became a studio potter, selling work in galleries and at craft fairs. In 1978, she became the resident potter at the Craft School, managing the studio and teaching classes. Changing course in 1987, she opened a picture framing business in her home in Shelburne. The love of clay frequently brought her back to the Craft School as a volunteer, sharing knowledge and skills. She is now the instructor of the Independent Clay class. --

I have been a student of clay since 2014. In the fall of 2016, shortly after moving to Vermont, I joined the vibrant Craft School clay community where my practice thrived under the mentorship (and friendship) of Rik Rolla. In 2019, I began working out of a private studio in Burlington where I make functional pots for every day use. I look forward to connecting with others through this special & grounding craft. When I’m not working with clay, you might find me tending to my garden, cozied up on the couch with a good book, or hanging out with my cat, Penelope.

A native Vermonter, Emily was raised in a log cabin nestled into the rolling hills of the Worcester mountain range. She spent much of her childhood exploring the countryside on horseback and swimming in the frigid mountain rivers. Growing up in a family of artists and craftsman, she developed a hunger for creativity, and a passion for creating things with her hands. Emily has experience working in many different mediums, ceramics, jewelry, woodworking, mosaics and glass fusing to name a few, but her true passion remains deeply rooted in stained glass. Emily learned the art of stained glass through an independent study in high school, mentored by Chris Jeffrey, a renowned stained glass artist based in central Vermont. Emily attributes much of her success as an artist and personal growth to the close friendship that she and Chris have maintained in the years following her study. Since opening her private studio, Emily has gone on to instruct kindergarten through high school students as well as adults, finding great happiness providing a positive learning environment in which to share her love of stained glass.
