Featured Artist Bios:

Michael Flaherty Mike Flaherty is dedicated to preserving the integrity, form, and function  of ceramics through craftsmanship and innovative design. His designs  incorporate whimsical handles, rich surface textures, and complex  glazes, many of which are formulated from local deposits of yellow  ochre, iron red, and riverbank clays, believing that integrating local  materials ads familiarity to the forms he creates. Mike teaches art for  the Charleroi Area School District and works from his studio “Flaherty  Pottery” in his home in Richland Township.
Jennifer Robbins-Mullin
A Kodak Instamatic camera started it all for Jennifer Robbins-Mullin back in the 1970s when she was a kid.  By the time Jennifer left for college she had upgraded to a Pentax ME SLR.   Two years ago, she went digital  and got her mind blown on the freedom of shooting a thousand shots in  one day. Jennifer’s work has been exhibited all over the United States. 
George Yancura
Stained  glass and fused glass artist from New Castle, PA. George Yancura  specializes in the unusual and different, with a wide variety of work  available at the Bottlebrush including coasters, plates, suncatchers,  small glass sculptures, candle holders, cheese plates, large stained  glass windows made with vintage materials, a large glass lighted wall  hanging “Fire and Ice”, and a full-size chandelier.
