Jeanne Evatt
I enjoy working with clay, finding this wonderful medium both relaxing and invigorating. I am inspired by the infinite creative possibilities, through both hand-building and throwing on the wheel. My pottery creations range from small Angel ornaments with positive affirmations to whimsical bowls to dragon sculptures, from hanging art pieces that feature horses, dandelions, lotus flowers and much more, to fanciful vases and dipping bowls. I like to play with different firing and decorating techniques, using an electric kiln, pit-firing, and raku firing.
I am grateful for both the inspirations and opportunities to create these unique pottery pieces, and for those that take pleasure in providing them a new home – thank you!

I’m Suzy, and have been with A Touch of Class now for a few years. I am so excited! My infatuation is all things beady, with a special penchant for bead woven jewelry – earnings, brooches, bracelets, necklaces. Each piece is created one bead at a time. Brooches and necklaces may also feature paper collage under glass, small images accented with glitter or gears and sometimes both! I will also have cork and ultrasuede wallets and coin purses, dog beds, cat toys, and eyeglass/sunglass cases.

Sharon Randall
I began my love with clay after my son was born in 1976 and have never looked back progressing from a studio in the garage to the family room to a full blown studio in Fairbanks as well as Nevada.
Whimsy with function is my goal with work. I use a combination of slab, wheel-thrown and extruded techniques to make pieces. All pieces, except raku, are microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe. My recent work involves slip painting each piece while still damp with various techniques learned in a class this past winter with Carol Gouthro. They are then fired once (bisque), then glazed with a clear glaze and fired a second time in either gas or electric kilns depending on the clay body. If my pieces make you smile while using them, they have succeeded in their purpose. Enjoy!

My name is Theresa Ramsey. I’ve spent time in Montana going to college and learning how to garden fruits, berries, and vegetables and to preserve (can) vegetables, jellies, sauces, BBQ sauces, fruit and berry based preserves. I also learned from my mom and have been around preserving most all my life. I have a large berry garden with blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, strawberries, raspberries, and elderberries and an orchard of apples, peaches, plums, apricots, pears, and nectarines. I love to make fruit and or berry based jams and sauces and mix and match several berries and fruits together.
It’s important for me to use only fresh produce. I am able to use about 50% less sugar which makes the fruit and/or berries more flavorful and not have a store bought sugar taste.
I will do special orders with a minimum of 6 8oz. jars. I absolutely love creating jams and sauces.

I’ve been pour painting and doing fluid art with mixed media for more than 10 years and I'm still learning and forever trying new things! Although trivets, coasters, trays and home decor have been my mainstays, I've recently incorporated my love for all things ocean into my pieces. I've created tealight holders, frames, and window hangings with sea glass, shells and lovely treasures from the beach. I'm hoping they bring as much joy to your home as they've brought me in creating them!

Gwen Clark
I'm Gwen, and my love of sewing began at the age of 7,when my gramma taught me to hand-sew clothes for my dolls and the introduced me to her singer treadle machine. Together we chose fabric, repurposed second hand finds, and turned ideas into on-of-a-kind creations. Lessons that taught me there are no boundries to being creative.
I never lost the passion. I have made clothing for myself, my daughters, and customized patterns. i have made costumes from Cabbage Patch Dolls, Minnie & Mickey Mouse, clown suits and all of the 7 dwarfs for my daughters friends and she was Snow White at her slumber party. I make wall decor, table runners, placemats, coasters, napkins, towel hangers with coordinating towels, baby bedding custom nursery sets.
I'm proud to return to A Touch of Class for the 3rd year and share my work along side such talented artisans.

Christine Miner
I have a background in art, having taken many art classes over the years and my love for beads has led me to doing what I do now. I retired from property management in Southern California and 10 years ago my husband and I resettled in beautiful Carson Valley. It is an inspiring place, and the chimes do well in this weather as long as they are appreciated and taken care of. I love my new "job" and delight in meeting the locals and sharing experiences.

Hi, my name is Sandy, I have been crafting for years and as a vendor for a year. This is my first year participating in A Touch of Class and I'm very excited to do so! Although I make many different items, my main craft is with jewelry. I love jewelry and creating art with it is very relaxing to me. I'm so excited when a piece finally comes together. I look for unique frames to display the artwork in and therefore every piece is unique and designed to bring joy and beauty to those who own them. If you have jewelry that belonged to someone close to you, I would be happy to create something with it for you. Please email me and let's see what we can do. I enjoy meeting people and look forward to meeting you.

My name is Shirlee and I looking forward to your viewing and enjoying my amigurumi and stuffed animals. Amigurumi is a Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures; however, amigurumi vary in size.
My amigurimi is made with acrylic yarn because it is hypoallergenic. I also make crocheted eyes instead of using plastic safety eyes which can be dangerous for young children.

I have been working with Art Glass since 1990. I worked in foil and leaded glass in the evenings after a regular full time job. the glass art is my happy place, the full time job paid the bills and made it possible for me to create colorful pieces of art to fulfill my creative need. My Art resides in homes around the Carson Valley, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Sparks, Carson City, California, Washington and Georgia. I hope that my glass art brings joy to the hearts and smiles to the faces of those viewing my finished art glass work.

Hi, I'm Stacy and I am the owner of TePartyBlooms. I live in Minden, NV and am a registered Nurse at a local hospital. i started working with wood flowers as a fun project for my son and daughter n law's wedding. Sola wood flowers are great alternative to fresh and artificial. They are sustainably sourced, can be painted any color and are uniquely beautiful. Texture is similar to foam or cork. I love painting the flowers in all different colors and arranging them. It's relaxing to me and allows me to unwind, especially after a long week of work, The idea for teacups and teapots came to me during a quick trip to a thrift store. All of my tea party pieces are unique. I also design bouquets, corsages, and party favors. Hopefully you will enjoy these creative pieces as much as I do!
