Peter and Barbara Turner
North Carolina Artists

The Turners (Turner Mastercraft) use the finest woods in their pieces.

Kurt and Caryn (Schatzi Boyz Pottery) have been working in clay since their first class at McHenry County College.

Their work is exhibited at local shops and regional art shows. Their Apfel Kuchen plate has been kitchen tested by our staff many times using Caryn's recipe.
