Tim is a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute. He has taught classes in ceramics all over the Midwest – as an Artist-in-Residence in the Minneapolis Public Schools, in extension classes at the Kansas City Art Institute and workshops for organizations in the Omaha area. According to Tim, “I teach that the Arts are about transforming common materials and creating things that enrich our lives and allow us to explore and share our dreams and ideas. The Arts are about the beauty we find, the pain and ugliness we witness, the what if’s and journey’s we dream about and experience.”

In addition to his work teaching, connecting with youth and encouraging creativity, Tim is an accomplished artist in his own right. With over 40 years of experience as a ceramic artist, Tim has numerous awards and commissions to his credit. His work can be seen all around Omaha: murals on the Completely Kids building, donor walls at several nonprofit agencies, tile floors at Creighton and UNO, and several churches around town. His work at St. Stephen the Martyr has been recognized by the American Institute of Architects for excellence in Liturgical Appointments and his work at the Boystown Chapel has been recognized as an International Liturgical Art In Environment Award Winner.

Our March event became an unexpected beautiful adventure in one of the most locally committed creative locations in Omaha -

We got to hear from Producing Artistic Director, Susan Clement on all the thought and intention behind creating this space. Plus artist, engineer, magician, guru…..you name it, it probably applies, Chris Kemp shared how he brought some wild visions to life in the Big Damn Doors and the Giger Gates.

We then ventured inside and heard from — YOU! Our community, on what makes Omaha so special.

It was a morning filled with local love, good vibes and creative celebration. Be sure to join us on the next one!

Always the second Friday of the month. Always free. Always excited to see you!

Our theme for April is EMBER. It was chosen by our Poulsbo chapter in Washington and illustrated by Sarah Gordon.

The literal meaning of ember is a small piece of burning or glowing coal or wood in a dying fire. But as a metaphor, it means so much more.

Our Poulsbo chapter had this to say about the significance of this month’s theme:

“Embers represent the quiet, enduring remnants of fire—what remains after the intensity fades. They carry a smoldering potential, a subtle strength that holds heat long after the flames have gone. As a quieter community outside the city, we may not always burn the brightest, but we never burn out. Our spark lives in reflection, resilience, and the space we have to pause, think, and grow.

In those calm moments, we find what many others miss: the steady glow of ideas, relationships, and dreams that don’t need noise to thrive. Embers remind us that even after challenges or change, something powerful remains—ready to reignite when needed. We hold that same quiet fire within ourselves, and in community with each other, we kindle more.

Together, we tend the quiet fire—fueling one another through presence, care, and shared warmth.”

What ember is quietly glowing inside you? And what new fire will it ignite in your life?

Valerie St.Pierre Smith is an interdisciplinary designer, artisan, scholar, and educator. Fascinated with fashion, identity and the healing power of beauty since a very young age, she constructs tactile visual and spatial narratives reflecting the enduring traditions of her Anishinaabe heritage while contributing to a vision for our collective future. Texture, color, line, shape, and pattern act as language for her, communicating the deeper stories held within our bodies, communities, and histories.

A bit of a unicorn, Valerie is also actively engaged in her scholarly practice, focusing on indigenizing and decolonizing western Euro-centric design practices, paradigms, and pedagogies. Rooted in the traditional teachings of the 7 Grandfathers, Valerie sees creation as an act of care. Her work is an invitation into relationship: to feel, to observe, to participate, and above all, to connect and strengthen the bonds that unite us in kinship.

Valerie’s creative work has been seen across Turtle Island including at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Calgary Fashion Week, McCarter Theater, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, The Kennedy Center, Sea World: San Diego, the National Museum of the American Indian, Pilobolus Dance Theatre, and several independent galleries and exhibition spaces.

St.Pierre Smith holds a B.F.A from Stephens College, and an M.F.A from San Diego State University.

See you there?! Next Friday Feb 13 at hearing from the lovely . Don’t worry, we’ll be your valentine! But please RSVP so we know you’re coming!

Camino (pronounced Kah-Mee-Noh) is a Spanish word meaning “path” or “way.”

You don’t have to know exactly where your path leads, just trust that you’ll learn what you need along the way. Wherever you are headed, we wish you, as they say in Oviedo, “buen camino.” May you have a safe and meaningful journey.
