A&E Design

Celebrate the Season with Art and Music at A&E Design

Join us at A&E Design for ArtWalk on Friday, December 6th, from 5 to 9 pm, for an evening of art, music, and holiday cheer. We will be featuring the work of Clare Jurczak of Elk River Clay, a small-batch ceramic studio established in 2021 in Worden, Montana. Clare creates functional stoneware pottery on the potter’s wheel, decorating each piece with clay slips, stenciled designs, or glazes. Inspired by Montana’s diverse landscapes and wildlife, her work seeks to capture the essence of local ecosystems and geology—from the sagebrush prairie to the high country mountains. Designed with a minimalist style for everyday use, Clare hopes that Elk River Clay pieces bring beauty, purpose, and a sense of place to daily kitchen rituals.
