Anthony Zimmer

With a decade of expertise in the art of pottery, Anthony's journey began in the heart of New York City at Mud Matters studio in Hells Kitchen. He specializes in crafting exquisite wheel-thrown pieces, showcasing his skill in creating diverse decorative objects, including unique table and floor lamps. Anthony also utilizes his academic background in chemical engineering to design custom glazes for many of the pieces at Red Hill.

JJ Hartmann

JJ's ceramics journey began during the pandemic when Anthony taught him the craft of wheel throwing. Over the past three years, JJ has developed a passion for wheel-thrown and hand-built decorative objects, such as vases and whimsical zoomorphic vessels. In 2021, JJ ventured into the craft of woodworking. His creations range from functional furniture like benches, bookshelves, and tables to innovative sculptures that blend pottery and woodworking.
