All artwork is our own originals. Our clay work is slab work where we roll out blocks of clay and cut them down to size. We then hand draw each design, sketch it on clay then hand carve it. We then combine our artwork with our own poetry. All poetry we individually hand press. Pressing each letter in by hand using old typeset. New this year are Victor's full poems on clay. Our goal is to create artwork that is simple and elegant that others can connect to in the different stages of life. Our artwork has been derived from our own personal life experiences. We're a husband and wife team. Victor is the poet (studying Philosophy, History and Literature). Megan is the illustrator (studying studio arts). Each piece we handmake together from start to finish. Some artwork we finish with found wood and other artwork we finish in solid oak frames. Frames we hand make in a craftsman, mortise & tenon style using no nails or screws to build the frames. Each piece is original, hand mad
