Sela Stazzone's love for pottery started in high school and quickly became an obsession in college. Sela fell in love with the medium, getting her hands dirty, and spending hours on end creating fine and functional art. She took a ceramics course while studying abroad in Florence, Italy which reignited Sela's love for the craft and pushed her to purchase a wheel when she returned home. Before she knew it, Sela had so much pottery and wanted to share it with others.

For the past 30 years Sadhana Peterson has mainly exhibited with her 3 siblings who are also creatives (blame it on their mother's influence). Sadhana's love of clay was ignited in 1970 when she was 10 years old. Sadhana was handed some clay by Barbara Quittenbaum, the pottery teacher at a school where her mother was teaching. Sadhana proceeded to make a pig inspired by an ancient Egyptian hippopotamus and she knew at once that she wanted to be a potter when she grew up. At 15 years old Sadhana started serious classes with Margaret Tuckson who was well known for her documentation of New Guinea ceramics and her love of wood firing.
