In 2006 he married Debra, and helps raise his two daughters. He continues to make pots as much as he can around outside employment.




They raised 2 lovely daughters, owned and operated 2 successful businesses, have 2 grandchildren - and have recently retired from the working world! Cindi Kordell's personal rennaissance began when she joined the Calligraphy Guild of Pittsburgh a few years ago, where she took several lettering courses and studied with Calligraphy Masters. It is through the praise, support, and encouragement of her "calligrafriends."


"It's the emotion in a scene, a story, or a photograph that grabs my attention. If I can't get the emotional impact out of my head it has to be put on paper." When not working on an art project, Dayas is a layout designer at Creps United Publications. She has also served on the board of the Indiana Art Association since 2009. She enjoys spending her time with her two boys and husband. Her favorite place is home and her interests include gardening, wool felting, video games, and all things geeky.





Harold resides in Indiana, Pennsylvania with his wife, Susan, and has been influenced by the work of Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer, NC and Andrew Wyeth, and Sidney Laurence.

As helper to my friend who teaches warm glass jewelry classes in Special Studies at Chautauqua I was introduced to another material that presents so many possibilities. These past 2 summers gave me the possibility to make glass plates and dishes when ceramics classes were not available.
Whether with glass or ceramics my goals have remained learning something new and different inspired and stimulated by the encounters with a variety of teachers and techniques, getting better at what I can achieve- I always say: for my own amusement and amazement! What a compliment when others like what I do. The friends made in the studios are the best bonus!"





Also known as Jimmy the potter, his formal background in ceramics began in 1974 in the apprenticeship program at Berea College in Kentucky, culminating with a BA degree. Following graduation, JR was a studio potter in Florida, California, and Kentucky. While in Kentucky, he was very active in the Kentucky Department of Humanities Artist-In-Residence program, working primarily in rural districts presenting residencies ranging from two weeks to nine months, as well as providing teacher in-service seminars, facilitating visiting artist workships, and advocating for the arts to community groups. He earned an MFA in ceramics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the spring of 2008. JR always has a great story to tell.


"I speak in a language of visual metaphors using surface decoration to tell my stories. Through routinely making and experimenting, I am guided by powers beyond my understanding. Paying attention to things that rock my spirit, that make me question, that make me smile; being an artist is a way of life. Clay feeds, heals, and holds my soul. Nature is my inspiration."


"My painting continues to evolve. I'm in a stage of exploration and experimentation. I enjoy painting the figure, landscapes, and abstractions. My focus is to combine movement the figure, and abstraction. At this juncture, I am not certain how these elements may manifest. However, they are always on my mind when I am painting."

I was an art education major at IUP, and taught art at a middle school in Blairsville for a year, then went back to the University for a masters degree in painting. After getting my degree I was an itinerant elementary art teacher in 5 schools in Latrobe for a year, before coming on staff as a pastor-in-training at what is now Saving Grace Church in Indiana. Over the years I have continued to paint and still paint in an impressionist style. I begin my paintings with an undercoat of acrylics, then usually add layers of oil paint. I love the thick, rich colors of oil paint. I enjoy painting barns, vintage cars, laundry on clotheslines, umbrellas, local buildings and landscapes.
And I am really grateful that the Artists Hand displays and sells my paintings and prints."
