Amy Hafeman #3 on the 2016 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 7-9th

Amy Hafemann was introduced to the art of ceramics while attending UW-Whitewater and discovered a true love for it. After graduating, she continued working in various classrooms and community studios in and around Madison. She now lives and works in her home studio in Saukville. Creating functional pieces in brightly colored glazes, her work lends a refreshing approach from the more traditional earth colors.

Kandy Gibson #6 on the 2015 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 9-11th

Kandy Gibson is a utilitarian potter who creates pots that are visually pleasing and unique in character, but also useful in everyday life.  Each piece of stoneware pottery created reflects her enjoyment for throwing, carving, sketching, embellishing, creating and using. Most of her pieces are wheel thrown, but some are hand built.  The forms are usually organic in nature, which stems from her love of the balance observed in nature. 

Diane Boer Henke #25 on the 2015 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 9-11th

 “Boer Works Ceramic Studio”

    Diane Boer-Henke

I have been working with clay on and off for 35 years.

Moving into a 1908 Foursquare home in Cedarburg with my husband Dave, I finally had the room to create a Boer Works Studio in the old pump room in our basement.

I have always loved clay as a medium. I am inspired by life and the faces of people I have met. I feel that faces are like a map that can illustrate our experiences and emotion. I am wonderfully intrigued by the lines etched by time on each of us dwelling on this earth.

I welcome you to visit my studio and see what emerges from the clay….

Kandy Gibson #7 on the Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 10-12th

Kandy Gibson is a utilitarian potter.  She creates pots that are visually pleasing and unique in character, but also useful in everyday life.  Each piece of stoneware pottery created reflects her enjoyment for throwing, carving, sketching, embellishing, creating and using.  She enjoys creating each piece with its own unique character and personality, whether Kandy changes a spout, handle, foot, rim, glaze color or decorative element   Most of her pieces are wheel thrown, but some are hand built.  She enjoys making pieces that are hand carved, or altered in some way.  The forms Kandy makes are usually organic in nature, which stems from her love of balance observed in nature, and her personal preference for a fluid line.  Kandy’s inspirations for surfaces come from patterns in fabric, paintings, nature and historic dish ware pottery.
