  • Sabine Brunner
    Sabine Brunner
    Visual Arts: Ceramics, Crafts, Printmaking
    My name is Sabine Brunner. I am a ceramic artist and mom of 2 toddlers (Luka is 6 and Logan is 4 years old). I studied Graphic Design in Aachen/Germany and for my master thesis I designed a tableware with the whole alphabet from A-Z written in calligraphy. After moving to California in 1996, I started doing Ceramics and became a Ceramic Artist. I love giving my ceramic pieces a whimsical feel. In 2015 my family moved to Little River, CA next to Mendocino from the San Francisco Bay Area. We are living our dream of a rural life with lots of space and many animals. We currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 4 goats and 9 chickens. More to come… My work has been influenced by living our dream farm life. I am creating whimsical dishes with lots of different, colorful designs on it. My new studio is also housing an antique Pearl Golding Letterpress. You can come and print your own cards on my Adana 8×5 or take a class. My studio is located in Fort Bragg, California. Come and visit me if you are in the area and take a class in ceramics or printing! 223 East Redwood Ave., Fort Bragg, CA 95437

    Visual Arts: Crafts, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Printmaking, Textiles; Knitting
    I am a knitting historian and master lace knitter.  The last 7 years I’ve been researching the earliest knitting manuals from the 1840’s cataloging, reviewing, knitting, updating and charting patterns from these early handwritten lace patterns.  In 2021 I created a deck of Victorian Lace Knitting Cards to be used by knitters who want to practice their lace knitting skills, practice designing their own pieces and use them along with their favorite simple patterns to make them their own.  The cards are available through my website and will be available for shipping in late January 2022.   Along with the cards I’ve designed four Victorian Long Shawl knitting patterns. With this project complete, my 2022 plans are to work with these cards in different mediums than yarn and create outdoor sculptures.  I would like to collaborate with other artists to combine lace knitting with other mediums. Other interests include linoleum block printing, solar plate etching and felting and to continue working with Pacific Textile Arts in whatever way I can to increase participation and encourage support of he fiber arts community in the Mendocino/Fort bragg area.

    Visual Arts: Ceramics, Crafts, Glasswork, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Sculpture, Works on paper
    My relationship with clay began at Grove Street College in Oakland in the 1970s and at Chico State I received a BA in Ceramics. My work is influenced by Mayan Art, Botany, my Marine Science studies & an attraction to Mysticism. Some of my early work also incorporated ceramic sculpture with textiles. Currently, the figurines, tiles and decorative pieces I have been working on are inspired by nature and the mystical use of spirit totems.

    Visual Arts: Crafts, Jewelry; Hand made jewelry
    I am a Mendocino County jeweler working mainly in silver, semi-precious stones, and pearls. My style ranges from the traditional to the modern, and is completely unique. All of my pieces are individually handmade, and are therefore one-of-a-kind or in small series with repeating motifs. My training is with David Laplantz at Humboldt State University, at Monterey Peninsula College, and various Mendocino Art Center workshops and assistantships. I am presently working with my company Ling-Yen designs, http://ling-yendesigns.com/ and selling my work on etsy, and other exhibition and show venues. I am working as gallery coordinator of the Coast Highway Artist Collective,/www.coast-highway-artists.com, in Point Arena.

    The Coast Highway Artists Collective (CHAC) was formed in March, 2012. The Collective includes artists working in various genres and media. Most of us live on or near the coast of the Pacific Ocean, in an area called “Mendonoma,” which includes the adjacent southern Mendocino County and northern Sonoma County in California. Our gallery in Point Arena has a long art history. The building, which is easily recognizable by its red paint and bright yellow sun logo, was originally a home for a family with five children. Decades ago, the building was converted into an art gallery and was known as City Art. Many artists in the local community contributed to creating the gallery and hosting art exhibits. Years later, the gallery became inactive and stood vacant for a time. CHAC was then formed and refurbished the building to use it for year-round displays of local members’ art. Guest artists are often invited to exhibit at the gallery. Our Collective member artists take turns staffing the gallery on its open days, usually four, including weekends (see our current schedule on the Home page), so that whenever anyone visits, there will be one of our artists there to serve them. The building, with its charming garden, is oftentimes used for community events. .
  • Heather Law
    Heather Law
    Heather Law was raised in rural Northern California. In 2004, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University, Chico. After graduating, she spent several years as an apprentice at Hoyman-Browe pottery studio in Ukiah, California. From 2007-2009 she attended graduate school in Rochester, New York, at the School of American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology, where she obtained a Master’s of Fine Art degree with a concentration in Ceramic Sculpture. Currently she is a studio production artist and small business owner in Ukiah, CA. Law’s work is a social commentary on American consumerism, personal identity through material goods, and the waste that material consumption creates in our commodity culture. Her work is a tangible and direct representation of mass consumerism/waste and her molds are a friendly reusable reminder of the importance of being aware of our carbon footprint.

    Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Crafts, Functional and/or Decorative, Painting, Textiles
    I grew up in the beauty of oak trees and yuccas in southern California’s chaparral. From the time I was a little kid, I drew and painted and made things every day. By High School, which had a fabulous art department, the format was such that I was able to take 8 art classes my senior year. The year after high school I spent studying with painters Ed Seagaitz and Jo Mahoney in Claremont, Calif. I then moved north and put myself through Calif. College of Arts and Crafts making one-of-a-kind art-to-wear garments, and graduated with distinction with a major in Fine Arts, emphasis in painting. I lived and made art in the Bay Area until 2003, when we moved to Philo, where we still live. My main goal in creating art is to make political, social and spiritual commentary in a way that is playful and fun to have around. I like to paint pictures about things I think have an important message. Some of those things are really very ugly, like war, injustice, environmental destruction- but I don’t like to paint ugly things. The idea I want to convey is often, though not always, serious. The execution is meant to be fun, playful, so as not to scare the viewer away, but to give them pause to think on it without being beaten over the head. I paint in what I call “Primitive Narrative”, or “Folk Art Fantasy”. My husband and I also make furniture together, mostly cupboards, which we call “Folk Art Fantasy Furniture”.
  •  The Franklin Family
    The Franklin Family
    Visual Arts: Crafts, Illustration, Jewelry, Painting, Textiles
    Members of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Patricia Ray-Franklin along with her children, Tim (11), Joshua (9), and Sarah (6), make regalia to be worn while dancing. Patricia uses her craft to revitalize the culture of her tribe. Taught beading by her brother, Timothy Ray, Patricia has taught her children to bead. Among their many activities in the community the Franklins also dance, sing and play traditional instruments. Tim, Joshua and Sarah integrate their sense of rhythm, patterns and colors in their paintings. Patricia has been inspired by her late Aunt Bonnie Elliott, who she watched as a young girl weave baskets and make regalia. This is a unique opportunity to see dynamic art made by a family that is learning and sustaining the original cultures of Mendocino and Lake counties.
