Our final featured host artist is Rachel Imsland! Rachel writes “I create a variety of minimalist and elegant hand-built vases, vessels, and sculptural forms, often balancing geometric structures with soft, organic lines. I’m drawn to the beauty of imperfection and simplicity, incorporating earthy forms, muted tones, and surfaces that feel like they’ve been shaped by wind, water, or time.” Rachel is host at location #6 on our tour map - 2802 Center Avenue in Madison. You can start your tour at any of the 6 locations! Find the map at the link in our profile. And learn more about Rachel at rachelimsland.com, on Facebook at Rachel Imsland and on Instagram at .
