Nan’s Pottery & Tiles and Jeff’s Wood Mobiles

Nan’s Pottery & Tiles and Jeff’s Wood Mobiles is owned and operated by Nan & Jeff Lazovik, and they are returning artists to the Studio Tour!

Nan and Jeff have lived in DeKalb, NY since college at SLU (1970) and have expanded their creative work during their retirement, Jeff from the Potsdam College Counseling Center and Nan from the Edwards-Knox Central School Art Department.

Nan makes stoneware pottery that is practical, durable and able to be used in the oven or microwave. Her tiles are whimsical and narrative, telling stories that reflect her life and love of the natural world.

Jeff’s wood mobiles have been created by using branches from trees on their land. Then they are resurfaced, sealed and weatherproofed while connecting the branches in ever changing configurations. He works to delight the viewer’s imagination while creating a state of balance between the interior tensions of the mobile and the space where it hangs.
