Wandering Blue Studios was created in 1997 by Russ Filippello and Tania Corvalan, two recent art school graduates.  Setting up a pottery studio in the beautiful mountain town of Nederland, Colorado seemed like a dream come true.  The following year Russ began to learn lampworking and quickly became very good at making his beautiful glass pendants.   Since then Russ and Tania have been creating one of a kind arts and crafts, evolving their work into their signature style.  Russ and Tania can be found working in the studio in Nederland or at the various farmer's markets and art shows throughout the summer and fall months.    Nederland is a small town full of active and artistic people.  It is an ideal place to work and travel to and from all the art shows in the area.

Tania Corvalan does most of the wheel thrown pottery with her husband Russ Filippello doing the slab rolled dinnerware.  The goal with pottery is to evoke the art within an everyday activity.  Drinking a cup of coffee is usually more than just injesting the drink but a chance to rest, think, read and feel the soft, glassy surface of your perfect, light weight pottery mug.  The colors are like a landscape, changing as you move the cup, offering a chance for the imagination to run free for a moment.  And then the coffee break is over and the mug is put in the sink or tossed in the tote... but a brief opportunity was allowed to appreciate beauty and creativity.  Pottery is amazing because it allows the little brief moments of art to occur as frequently as a person's next meal.  A potter's work is rather humble.  We aren't making momentous statements or doing big museum tours ( for the most part). Just putting a little bit of ourselves into every bit of clay that passes from our hand, to the kiln, to someone else hand.  It is nice and very satisfying.
Russ also lampworks glass into ornaments, pendants, paperweights and more.
