Silvia Ritterling
Born and raised in Morelia Michoacán Mexico, an area of the world well known internationally for its rich heritage - from which beautiful art crafts are to be found, including pottery, copper, handmade guitars etc. She started to learn ceramics about 5 years ago. It has become a wonderful life passion of hers, allowing her to explore her own personal artistic expression and share creations with others. Most of her pieces are items that can be of practical, every day use. Bowls, plates, cups, vases but also unique decorative creations in a variety of styles, shapes, and colors that bring nuance and warmth to a room and to a home.
Past Artists
Bright Nights Art- Nelly Fowler
I am from Cartagena, Colombia and am a local dentist who has studied in New York and practices general, family, and esthetic dentistry. My love for ceramics is a wonderful hobby where i create sculptures with different shapes, colors that correlate to the beautiful things that i have seen in the ocean, in my travels, or just beautiful moments of creative art from my heart and soul. The pieces are all an expression of love, fun or fantasy from classic books and stories. The hours that i spend late at night working are rewarding and fulfilling, and that is why I call my art Bright Nights Art.

Selah Ceramics- Jackie Rodriguez
Selah Ceramics is a nature inspired line of pottery created in our local studios. The designs are natural, organic, and use plants and herbs to give it its characteristic look. The pieces will always be completely unique down to the clay used and the glaze used to paint them.

Roses and Lace Pottery- Mirjana Ringo
I was always searching for unique one-of-a-kind things and when I couldn’t find them I started dreaming about making them. That’s how my creations were born. I combine beautiful lace with clay, and I never know where it’s going to take me. It’s a journey that I enjoy and it excites me every time I get my hands on a new piece of clay. I love to discover new patterns and each creation is a beautiful surprise.
Homaira Etemadi
I was born and raised in Europe, my birthplace is Rome the place of art and design. I'm married and I have two sons. We live in Southern California for more than 30 years now. As a child, nature always inspired me. During any special occasion, I would instinctively be drawn towards flora, because what is a celebration without the beauty of flowers? I always dreamed of owning a small flower shop of my own, where I could not only be surrounded by the blooms that inspired me but more importantly, where I could dedicate my time sharing their beauty.
With the help of my husband, an artist with a creative eye, and Southern California, a paradise filled with abundant flora varieties, we are utilizing Wabi-Sabi Ideals within our art and pottery design in some degree of items we produce. Nothing is as satisfying as the smile on someone’s face when they see a flower arrangement in a beautiful handmade vase.
Chelsea Mae
Entrenched in the local art scene Chelsea has curated mixed-media shows, and exhibited Ceramic Sculptures in galleries including Ethos Contemporary Art, Newport Beach, Philharmonic House of Design, the Victor F. Keen gallery, Las Vegas, and in Four Eyes Art Collective Exhibitions in Los Angeles and Newport Beach.
