Jasmine Schwenk

Jasmine moved in 2021 from the lower Rhine in Germany to Honesdale, PA.  Born to a sewing, knitting, crocheting, and embroidering mother and a woodworking father.  Jasmine has traveled to islands of wool, fabric, glass, wood, and clay creating magic little worlds to make safe places for herself and others.

Jasmine finds her inner peace in creating stories through art.  The themes vary from fairytales to politics.  Some of her quilts have traveled the world in exhibitions.  She finds joy in the shining eyes of her customers and students and the purring of her cats to the sounds of needles and wheels.

Matt Povse

Form, surface, and line are considerations in Matt’s work. Throwing the bowl with a strong, curved line, and activating the surface with lines “drawn” into the clay are his concerns.  Among the many references that are important and inform him include nature and the work of many architects, painters, potters, and sculptors from the past.
