Michael Roseberry comes from the plains of West Texas and started his academic career as a student of botany, studying the forms and patterns of nature. He then shifted his focus to the study of French and went on to complete Masters degrees in French language and French culture. As a constant, he studied ceramics in the background, developing skills and a sense of aesthetics, as well as learning the technical and chemical nature of ceramics. Post¬graduate study in France allowed Michael to further synthesize a broad network of ideas and images into a personal esthetic that continues to resonate in the work he currently designs.

After seeing a pottery demonstration at the age of six, Bruce Winn knew that he wanted to be a potter, and has never wavered from that goal. After undergraduate work at Boston University, he completed an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI. His individual work appears in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Royal Palace, Stockholm, Sweden, The Alfred University Museum, The Cranbrook Academy of Arts Museum as well as many private collections. He is also a teacher of ceramics, having filled positions at Bennington College in Vermont, City College of New York (CUNY) and the Parsons School of Design. Currently he teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design and gives workshops and lectures nationwide.
