Glass Artist
Angel Hall
Angel Hall is a lifelong learner from Independence, Missouri. Her path began with drawing at a very early age, filling sketchbooks with concepts, sketches, lyrics, poetry and art. An avid singer, she worked in various theatre groups, until she found her true love- Stained Glass. At 19, she owned a Merry Go Round Stained Glass franchise; by 21, attended Pilchuk Glass School, and became a published designer for Spectrum Glass. From hot glass to beadmaking, she began to create glass beads for Guitar Pick Wear. Throughout the years, she’s had many experiences that shape her style, expression, and voice. Today, Angel still creates a variety of work, allowing the richness of light and color to take center stage- letting the glass, paint, pencil or sound speak for itself.
You can find Angel at local coffee shops, and art show events.

Pottery Artist
Kurt Kellemeyer
Kurt Kellemeyer didn't find pottery - pottery found him, somewhere between childhood and a handful of mud. From an early age, Kurt was drawn to the tactile joy of working with clay, and that same playful curiosity has never left him. Over 12 years of creating, that passion has grown into Crimson Gizmo, a pottery brand as quirky and spirited as the hands behind it. What sets Crimson Gizmo apart is its charming imperfection. There's a quirkiness to every piece Kurt creates - a slight lean, an unexpected curve, a glaze that did something surprising in the kiln - and that's exactly the point. Kurt believes perfection is overrated, and that the most honest art carries the fingerprints of the person who made it. Each Crimson Gizmo piece is a small, tactile reminder that handmade means human-made.
