Michael Melik, Artist

Michael Melik uses old wood carving methods and inherent, natural shapes to create one-of-a-kind surreal images. Mother Nature is the most creative surreal artist and Michael shows people this through his own vision and understanding. Michael’s mission is to turn wood carving as a craft into a fine art, utilizing his unique vision, skills, imagination, and creativity. 

​Recently in collaboration with fine bladesmiths from numerous countries, Michael started creating knife handles and knife stands using woodcarving experience and turning knife-making into knife art.  

Steve Dale, Pebble Pottery

Pebble Pottery was founded in 2014.  Each pot, bowl, and decorative stone is crafted one at a time, at our studio in Murray, Utah.  No two are alike, making each piece custom-made and unique.  Every product is inspected for quality and sure to be a unique addition to your home or garden.  Our products are something you will be proud to give as a gift, or have on display in your home or garden. 

Jonna Ramey, Stone Sculptor

Jonna Ramey has been sculpting stone for 20 years. She believes that not all stone sculpture needs to be monumental to be enjoyed. She finds a quiet joy in carving small, working a stone on her lap. Turning it again and again, the stone begins to tell a story. Uncovering that story is part of the pleasure of sculpting stone. Here is a collection of sculptures that are easy to integrate into a variety of environments, pleasing to the eye and sensual to the touch. ​
