Mariana Ortega

She works in a diverse range of disciplines including sculpture, woodcarving, ceramics, painting, tapestry and weaving. At the Instituto Allende in the City of San Miguel de allende, México, she began working with a combination of tapestry, weaving loom and photography. In 2015 she exhibited at the Australian Tapestry Workshop in Melbourne, the Hibrido Festival, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and the Tecnológico de Monterrey Santa Fe, Mexico.

Karlyn Sutherland

Currently an Endeavour Research Fellow in the Glass Workshop of the Australian National University, Canberra, Karlyn Sutherland studied architecture at Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh (Ph.D., 2014), where she received multiple awards. She began working in glass in 2009 when her research into the topics of place and attachment led her home to Lybster, Caithness. In addition to maintaining her creative practice as an artist, architectural designer and writer, Sutherland is a member both of the Craft Scotland Advisory Group and of the Board of Directors of Timespan, a museum and art gallery in Helmsdale, Sutherland. She is represented by Bullseye Projects, Portland, Oregon.

Tom Zogas

Tom is currently producing a group of small scale containers and drinking vessels that are intended for use. These objects are informed by a continued interest in the process-based nature of craft media, particularly that of wheel thrown ceramics. By pairing the containers with photographic paper, some of their physical characteristics are translated into a two dimensional piece of supporting material.
