LightWave Pottery

Renée studied art at Indiana University and Virginia Commonwealth University. She started working with clay at age 15 and has never stopped. She is a born artist. When she found ceramics she knew it was a calling that would last a lifetime. Her mission as an artist is to create beauty that makes the world a better place to be. Check out her Etsy store for colored clay jewelry at Kauai Clay, and follow her on Instagram @clay_renee.

Rondi Harringer has 20 years experience as a clay artist. Her work reflects a lifelong passion for tribal and ethnic art, drumming and dance. Mask making is a special interest. At LightWave she combines wheel throwing, hand building and roots-style ceremonial art.

Jill was drawn to ceramics’ multifaceted artistic possibilities. Creative choices are made at every step, clay forming, decoration, glazing and firing. The grounding quality of clay is very appealing to her as well as the unlimited potential for expression, “I will never get bored.” She has explored many artistic media, drawing, painting, stained glass, photography and video. She gravitated towards clay every chance she had with classes in Elementary, high school, college and then as a member of the pottery guild on Oahu. You can find Jill on Instagram at @jhiuraceramics.

Sharon supports LightWave Pottery from the mainland. She undertakes a wide variety of remote tasks to keep the online aspects of the business running smoothly. Both webmistress and science nerd, she also works as a geoscientist at a local private college and is the senior biologist for an animal advocacy nonprofit. When not in front of her computer or in her laboratory, you’ll find her barefoot in her flower gardens or making plant medicines to share with friends.
