Name: Lee Bergey

Contact Information: ArtistLeeBergey@protonmail.com, Instagram: @artistleebergey
Artist Info: I have been creating since I was young, and I graduated from Goshen College in 2023 with a degree in Art. My portfolio is primarily mixed media work, focusing on themes of nature, environmentalism, folk art, and religion.

Name: Melanie Helmuth
Medium: Ceramics
Sales Location: Goshen Clay Guild, Soapy Gnome, Elephant Bar
Contact Information: mhelmuthpottery@gmail.com, Website: melaniehelmuthpottery.com, Instagram: mhelmuth.pottery
Artist Info: After just a couple of high school and college pottery classes, Melanie was interested in continuing to work with clay. A few classes at the Goshen Clay Artists Guild led her to become a member, which is where she works on most of her pieces. She has always enjoyed creating and working with her hands, so pottery has been a perfect fit as a creative outlet. Melanie enjoys creating pottery for fun but also participates in various art shows and sells her gnomes and soap dishes at Soapy Gnome and her Elephant Mugs at Elephant Bar, both in downtown Goshen.
Name: Sadie Misiuk
Medium: Ceramics
Sales Location: 2211 W Berkey Ave, Goshen
Contact Information: sadiemisiuk@gmail.com, smisiukceramics.com, www.facebook.com/sadiemisiukceramics, www.instagram.com/sadiemisiukceramics
Artist Info: Sadie Misiuk graduated from Central Michigan University in 2014 and moved to Goshen, Indiana in 2015. She has been collaborating with the clay community here ever since. Her work consists of utilitarian ware fired in an atmospheric firing; she prefers to fire in a wood kiln or a soda kiln. A wood fire lasts anywhere between 36-95 hours, with a team of about 8-12 people taking shifts to keep the fire going. The wood ash flies through the kiln to create a natural ash glaze and that’s where all the uniqueness comes into play. The flame and direction of airflow will never be the same in each firing! The glaze reacts to the soda to cause a different glaze effect! Sadie’s studio is here in Goshen and hosts a couple of open house studio sales each year, along with opening her studio up for the Michiana Pottery Tour at the end of September every year!

Name: Emma Zuercher

Sales Location: erzuercher.weebly.com
Contact Information: emma.r.zuercher@gmail.com
Artist Info: Emma Zuercher is an artist living and working in Goshen. Using recycled scrap aluminum and steel, she creates elegant forms using rugged materials. Art has been a lifelong passion, but her interest in welding and public art began in college when she first learned to weld with her father and then continued studying sculpture at Goshen College with the mentorship of John Mishler. As seen in her sandhill crane sculpture, Reginald, in downtown Goshen, her work features elements of regional ecosystems and reflects on human relationships with them. Her work can be found in private and public installations across Northern Indiana.
