“COASTERS BENEFIT” Coming up in November. Come in and get coasters. Create and donate. This year we are donating all proceeds to Rotary 21’s efforts on behalf of our region’s fire victims.

Rotary Community Service | Spokane County Wildfire Fund

Spokane County wildfires have devastated our community, destroying hundreds of homes and forcing tens of thousands of our neighbors to evacuate. The Spokane County Wildfire Fund, administered by Rotary Community Service, Inc. (the non-profit arm of Spokane Rotary Club 21), delivers fast, flexible financial support directly to those affected.

Every dollar you give goes straight to rapid, on-the-ground relief, helping families with immediate needs and supporting long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts in the months ahead.

Your donation today helps a neighbor start rebuilding tomorrow.

Trackside Studio's annual Ceramic Invitational; this year featuring a group of artists that work on and beyond the ceramic's wheel: Heather Lepp - Missoula, Montana, Amy Sanders - Lincoln, Nebraska, Deb Schwartzkopf - Seattle, WA, Zach Tate - Jonesboro, Arkansas and local artist Collista Krebs.

Today we feature Amy Sanders - Lincoln, Nebraska

Amy Sanders is a Chinese-American ceramic artist, born in Hunan, China and raised in Allentown, PA. Currently, Sanders is a third year Master's of Fine Arts candidate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Sanders has attended residencies at the Morean Center for Clay in St Petersburg, FL, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts: Pentaculum in Gatlinburg, TN, Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shiga, Japan, Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Newcastle, ME, and the Archie Bray Foundation: Summer Residency in Helena, MT. She has a published article in the September 2025 issue of Ceramic Monthly.

“My work strives to challenge the balance of form and function, thus establishing moments of engagement. The fundamental functions of a pot—such as pouring, containing, serving, or storing—serve merely as a starting point for an ongoing, engaging experience. The visual precarity of my work is intentional. When constructing I am guided by improvisations and intuitions that fluctuate between traditional ceramics, abstraction, and function.”

Heather’s journey in ceramics began with a BFA from the University of Manitoba, followed by years of hands-on apprenticeships with master potters. She has exhibited her work across Canada and the United States completed her MFA at West Virginia University in 2024. Beyond her own studio practice, she is passionate about teaching, guiding students through the tactile and transformative process of working with clay.

She currently lives in beautiful Missoula, MT with her partner, and two dogs. I am inspired to create pottery that fits a need in my daily life with an emphasis equally placed on beauty and practicality.
