Welcome to our newest Guest Members, Scott Gaustad and Rose Gitlin
An acquisition of some old growth redwood slabs inspires his current majestic bowls, plates, platters and objects d’art. Knowing he is working on wood from a tree that was hundreds if not thousands of years old is both humbling and rewarding. “I continue to be amazed at what happens with an unremarkable round of wood. I cut it in half, put it on the lathe, and let the shape, grain, and nuances in the wood guide me with my tools. The results are almost magical.” ~ Scott Gaustad |
Wood turner, Scott Gaustad took up his craft about 15 years ago. A retired lawyer from Ukiah, he became hooked with turning wood from the first day a client taught him the process. |
Ceramist, Rose Gitlin
" I work with clay as a way to make sense of the world, drawing on personal experiences and taking inspiration from emotions, dreams and nature. The forms of my sculptures often play with abstracting the human and mythological figure, while surface details tell stories that are both personal and universal. I love to create work that catches the eye from far away, and becomes more interesting the closer one gets to a piece. My intention is to raise questions and to invoke an emotional response that is unique for everyone. " |
Rose Gitlin is a ceramic sculptor based on the Mendocino Coast. She received her BFA from the University of Montana where she also completed a post-baccalaureate in ceramic sculpture.
