About the Helfands
Retired educators Scott and Debbie Helfand spend their time exploring the natural world and expressing their love for the environment through clay. Their work is inspired by their desire to promote environmental stewardship. Through design and decoration, they seek to create pieces that inspire others to join them in protecting the environment. Debbie expresses her fondness through hand-building with clay. She often includes upcycled fabrics and natural elements in her pieces and enjoys incorporating whimsical themes. Scott works with a variety of media, including clay, glass, and steel, often combining materials to create aesthetically functional works.
