Meet Your Proprietor, Jerry Lapp, Artist. When you are lucky enough to do the things you love to do, work with nature and its beautiful forms, it seems only natural to invite people to share it with you. I create and teach in clay, wood and paint. My home reflects the art I make and collect. My home also features original hardwood woodwork native to the area and the wonderful craftsmen of the late 1800's. The house has a rich history which I choose to preserve, protect and I hope you will enjoy it! Jerry is also a member of the Goshen Clay Artists Guild. to see more of his work at their website.
