Robin Pearson
Assistant Manager
Hey, I'm Robin! I dabble in a variety of art mediums, but my main passions are digital character design and ceramics.
While I may not be the most talkative, I love listening to people share their ideas and collaborating with artists or anyone looking to try something new.​​
​
Outside of art, you'll find me at the gym, spending time with my cat, or taking aesthetic photos of food!
Sav
Senior Studio Assistant
Hi, I'm Sav! I'm a fourth year product design student at the university of Oregon with a lifelong passion for art and design. While my favorite medium is linoleum block printing, I also have experience in acrylic painting, woodworking, sewing and various areas of design. If you see me around the studio, feel free to say hi- I'm always happy to offer guidance or chat about all things art.
I also take commission slots and teach classes in the studio!

Wheel Throwing Instructor
Clay centers me. It's a passion I have had for 40 years. I really enjoy watching students pleased with the pieces they make, that means I'm doing my job. I love integrating wheel thrown and handmade pieces to make functional art. I am a momma to 2 fur babies. I love gardening, love music, camping and anything outdoors.
