Julie Furrer is a local ceramic artist featured at Art and Soul Gallery in Ashland. Also she recently had a show in the Rogue Art Gallery in Medford from August thru September. She currently owns Rogue Valley Pottery Supply and Studios located at 300 E Hersey Street suite 7 & 8, which keep her very full in life teaching pottery classes, taking care of members in the studio and serving her pottery community of Southern Oregon with supply. 

Julie has always been an artistic hustler in many fields of work from sewing children's costumes to culinary trial and error. But once she found ceramics in 2019 she found her home. It was an immediate love affair! All the sewing and art supplies were given away or put into storage and she dove into full time pottery from 2021 to 2024. In June of 2024 she opened the local pottery supply in Ashland and in June of 2025, she purchased the studio formerly known as Bloom Pottery, which was next door to the supply store. The learning curve has been steep but full of joy! She serves on the board of Ashland Gallery Association as Secretary and is on the Central Point Arts Commission, her hometown. She has a very supportive husband and three daughters, two away at college and the last one helps out frequently at the supply store. 

Carmen is learning. She enjoys reconnecting to herself, others and natural systems through ceramics. She has traveled different parts of the world exploring how humans have interacted with clay and is most passionate about local materials and ancient methods. Her thoughtful works are available at Lithia Artisans Market, Clayfolk, and other markets around the Rogue Valley.

Tina holds a degree in Art Education from Humboldt State University and brings both love of clay and enthusiasm to the pottery studio. With a focus on wheel throwing and underglaze techniques, Tina is known for turning simple forms into expressive, functional art. Whether you're new to clay or looking to refine your skills, Tina creates a welcoming, hands-on learning environment that encourages creativity and exploration.

Summer has been a creating pottery for 30 years and has had a passion for the art since the beginning. She focuses on functional work, creating items that can be woven into your day, sparking joy in simple routines. Take time to slow down with pottery made by Summer and enjoy the connection you will feel!

Frank Jacques is bringing over 50 years of experience with ceramics and spent 35 of those years teaching. He got his MFA in Studio Ceramics in 1997 from the University of Washington. He’s recently relocated to Talent from Seattle where he was the clay/glaze tech for Seattle Pottery Supply, among many other things.

I've made lots of sculptures and had lots of show around the globe. I work with amazing galleries and will make lots and lots more sculptures and shows and intend to work until I die. I someday hope to make a masterpiece.
