Group in the Loop Studio B-302
The artists of the Group in the Loop are seven dedicated professionals committed to the study of the human figure. Each artist focuses on exploring and expanding their creative process through drawing and painting the human form. Their shared goal is to produce high-quality artwork that balances anatomical integrity with personal expression. The group holds three to four open sessions each week with live models, and currently displays around forty works of art.

Mud Hut Pottery B-314
Natalie Sacchitella works out of her ceramic studio in The Refinery Building in Rochester, NY. She mostly focuses on functional pottery such as mugs, plates and bowls putting emphasis on simple forms with bright pops of color and carved designs. She creates these bright pops of color using porcelain slips that are dyed using stains. For the final touch, she takes influences from her hometown in the Finger Lakes to create beautiful cravings of nature.
