He creates one-of-a-kind blown glass vessels that resonate with both past and present. His work is influenced by various glass and ceramic”¨forms found in ancient cultures including Greek\, Roman and Egyptian. Being a former painter\, the surface of his work becomes a painting in glass. The reference for his surface designs can be traced to the Minoan culture\, 3000 B.C. Although his reference is ancient functional form\, his glass vessels are modern and architectural. Poceta’s museum quality work engages the viewer with beautiful forms and surface designs that can be traced to the late Bronze Age.

His philosophy is to always carry a camera. Although his favorite subjects are nature and wildlife in his Oxford\, Michigan backyard\, Kriigel often travels for work.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Upon the completion of her first basket from a kit purchased at the Greenfield Village gift shop in 2003\, Fenwick's journey and passion took hold as a self-taught artist. Her attention to detail\, using various carving techniques with stone inlays and pyrography (wood burning)\, enhances and makes each piece unique. She is continuously inspired and amazed by the things that come from the earth - nature's art.

Matt is the host of the NPR/XM satellite show \"Sing Out! Radio Magazine\,\" and he's the kind of guy who makes friends easily. Not only is he on a first-name basis with most of the major folk musicians in North America after a few decades of sharing stages with them\, but he also has the kind of rapport with audiences that makes them feel as if they're sitting among friends in a living room. Matt's latest\, \"Shine Right Through the Dark\,\" is a set of original songs that reflects his roots in the Detroit area. \n\nAnne Hills has been called \"the heir apparent to Judy Collins\" by the Austin Chronicle\, and Anne has been a folk-music institution for more than three decades now with her soaring\, crystal-clear soprano and her innovative original songs. She came of age as part of Chicago's folk scene\, and she has never stopped experimenting and searching: among her many collaborations are those with jazz musicians and with theatrical presenters. Anne's latest album\, \"The Things I Notice Now\,\" is a tribute to Tom Paxton.
