Ceramics Area Champion
(aka Deboralynn Swanson)
Life should not be beige!

My first love is Jewelry design and creating. Beading, Wire work, PMC or using fire to mold and form metal are all tools I use to bring my designs to life. I buy clothes to coordinate with my jewelry and shoes. I also love playing with clay and getting muddy. I grew up working with ceramics and it compliments my love for jewelry. I don't like to always color inside of the lines. I love learning new things and collecting new skills. I confess, I'm am a tool junkie and yes I love shoes too!

My husband made me! Well sort of.
My husband really wanted me to come and see this new place he found. So I reluctantly tagged along.
Two hours later I was hooked. It was nothing like I had expected.

Since joining I have spent most of my time on setting up the ceramics area and helping with the Maker Faire or other community events.
