Amy Holland      is a potter and art educator who has  been teaching for 15 years.  She received her Bachelor of Science in Art  Education from Penn State University and later pursued Art Therapy at  Marywood University.  Her interest in ceramics and passion for teaching  led her to The Shelburne Craft School in Vermont where she furthered her  studies and later led their youth programs.  Moving home to  Pennsylvania brought her to teach        ceramics at Lancaster Museum of Art and ultimately to Lancaster  Creative Factory.  She creates and teaches        ceramics in her Lititz studio where she lives with her        husband, 2 children, and dog.

Donna Welsh has been an artist from the time she first  picked up a  crayon and received formal training at York Academy of Arts. She  also  holds a BS in Psychology from Albright College and several  certifications  in the Natural Health field. Her work hangs both here  and abroad and her  exhibit venues have included Mt. Gretna, Lebanon  Valley College, Lancaster  Museum of Art and the State Museum in  Harrisburg.
        She has taught adult drawing and painting classes for over   thirty-five years, and currently facilitates healing arts programs for   Lancaster Creative Factory. She divides her time among her art, her  varied  interests and her family. She currently resides in what she  likes to call her  Hobbit House in Mountville.

Carlo Jury was born and raised in Lancaster County, I’ve attained a  tremendous  sense of community that we all share in Lancaster.  As a  local artist I value and want to expand  our sense of community even  further through my work.  Until recently, I have always been a Fine   Arts painter.  From childhood to my third  year in college I primarily  painted from direct observations.  My first experience with clay  happened during  the first semester at Millersville University in 2006.   It was only one day on the potter’s wheel  when I knew that I must stay  with the clay.   During my senior year at the University I trained  myself through  extensive practice, many hours a day, four days a week  for five months trying  to master the craft before me, and in doing so, I  have never looked back.
        After graduation, I continued to practice my craft at Kevin  Lehman’s  Pottery, where I currently hold a full-time studio space and  teach ceramic  classes.  As for where I am going next, I  plan on  gaining a Master’s degree in Art Education. 
        Being part of the process in which clay goes through has changed  my  perspective on life, and provoked an instantaneous dialogue that I  interact  with everyday.
