At Pour Horse Pottery, owner Joan Berkwitz has some fine artists creating the horses, pins and T-shirts designs offered. Learn about the individual artists, without whom the pottery could not exist.
Kristina Lucas
Knut, a playful cantering Fjord stallion (14 KB) Formerly known by her maiden name of Kristina Lucas, Kristina's sculpture has made up the early body of Pour Horse products. Kristina has also produced her own wares under the name of Lucas Studio, now LucasFrancis Studios.

You can find information on some of her old wares in the View Halloo gallery.

Adalee Velasquez
Clydesdale Pin - black sabino (6 KB)
Adalee is the decorating artist for the black sabino coloring on the Clydesdale pin (sculpted by Kristina Francis). Her latest sculptural work for the pottery is a Pony Foal head pin. She also originated and holds the annual Bring Out Your Chinas show.

Velasquez Artistry is Adalee's new web site.

Carol Williams
Red Okie Clay (11 KB) One of the most noted hobby artists, Carol started the fascination for resin editions with her sculpture QH1. The interesting thing is, Carol had originally considered making QH1 in ceramic. Now, having sold a copyright of her resin foal sculpture "Okie Rio" to the pottery, we finally see her work in clay. Red Okie Clay has the honor of being the first foal mass produced by Pour Horse as well as being the first Appaloosa and the largest piece Pour Horse has yet produced.

More of Carol's artistic talents and sculpture may be seen at her site Rio Rondo.

Sarah Rose
Pour Horse - Hadrian - test (8 KB) Artist Sarah Rose has made quite an impact on the hobby with her very popular resin releases and will now have a piece released by Pour Horse, the new mini or thumb size Dales Pony, Hadrian.

You can see more of Sarah's work at Rose Studios.

Donna Chaney
PH Boxing Shire, custom by Joan Berkwitz  (10 KB) Well known in the hobby in both the USA and Europe, Donna Chaney has been releasing resin editions for some time. Recently, she has joined with Alchemy Ceramics to produce a line of fine bone chinas. Having long admired her work, the pottery requested a copyright for ceramic and Donna graciously produced the mini Boxing Shire. While this mini has yet to be released, it is planned for the future.

Joan Berkwitz
Nomad, customized as a Fjord (8 KB)

Suspiro, glaze custom dapple grey (14 KB)

Last but hardly least, Joan is the person behind the airbrush! Without her talent here, the Pour Horse pieces would not have the beautiful rich finishes that they do. While few may know it, Joan also sculpts and created many of the early Pour Horse renaissance faire wares. While initially, she did not do a lot of customizing, lately she's developed her skill even further and has created a number of lovely pieces.

In addition, Joan has collaborated with other sculpting artists and created a few artist editions where some are painted for (or by) the sculpting artist and some are painted by Joan. For what information I have on these editions, please visit the Artist Pieces portion of the View Halloo Gallery!
