Lucas C. May (he/him) is a friend of Artspace, working with us on the Community Ceramics Studio Project and as a hand-building ceramics instructor.

Lucas likes to make pots that he can see himself in and can relate to. Usually, they have some kind of mark or scar, a signifier of a journey. He finds inspiration in the materials he uses, many of which he sources locally by hand, and the processes themselves. His love and appreciation for the natural environment are a driving force of his creativity.

Sam is a potter with a fascination for just about everything. A few of his interests outside of making pots are: fly fishing, reading, taking care of my garden, and exploring the natural world. He creates work that reminds him of the natural world. Pulling imagery and ideas as far back as the pre-Cambrian explosion, when complex life started appearing in the fossil record.
