Kirsten Morehead is a ceramic artist, potter, studio owner, and community builder based in Tulsa. She believes that there is an inherent honestly in clay that has a way of bringing people back to themselves — slowing hands, quieting minds, and creating space for introspection and connection. What began as a love for mud and movement has grown into Once & Future Things, a vibrant studio where beginners, hobbyists, and seasoned artists gather to learn, experiment, and make beautiful, functional work. Kirsten is especially passionate about creating welcoming spaces where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to try something new — whether that’s throwing their first pot or finding creative confidence again. The name Once & Future Things carries a deeply personal story. Her son, Arthur, is named after King Arthur from The Once & Future King, a novel that shaped her heart as an artist long before she became a mother. When she made the leap from a secure career to the uncertain, beautiful life of a working artist, she wanted a daily reminder of why she was brave enough to do it. Naming the studio after the book that inspired her son’s name became her anchor — a promise to honor both her son and the future she was building for him. It’s a reminder that creativity is a little wild, a little bold, and always worth the risk. When she’s not teaching at the wheel or dreaming up new workshops, Kirsten is raising her son, building community, and proving that art belongs to everyone — especially those willing to get their hands a little muddy.
I am a local photographer and filmmaker looking to offer space to eager creatives!
I am a Tulsa based poet and military veteran who explores the intersection of organic formalism and the human experience. My work is long form, and focuses on the tension between disciplined craft and the nuances of shared uncertainty, utilizing expansive language to navigate complex themes. I am dedicated to fostering creative dialogue through a local discussion /poetry based open mic that I host at Noisetown. I believe in poetry as a tool for authentic observation, and as a of the people. Outside of the written word, I spend my time with my 10 year old dog, exercising and volunteering in adult literacy.
My work lives at the intersection of body and memory — what gets inherited, what gets buried, and what refuses to stay quiet. I will be showing acrylic and mixed media paintings alongside a poetry collection, both exploring intergenerational trauma, identity, and the slow work of returning to a self that was buried too long. I am a queer Indigenous woman making art about survival, inheritance, and what it means to finally come home to yourself.
I turn sound into something you can see. Portraits made from cassette tape—built from the music that made them. And. . . I help people turn grief into something they can hold. Memory pieces created from what’s left behind.
I’m a multidisciplinary designer, illustrator, painter, and fiber artist based in Tulsa. My work is a mixture of weird, silly, and whimsical — often pairing illustration with typography or acrylic paint with felt and yarn elements.
Fiber artist and garment maker with over a decade of experience. I want to help prevent materials from ending up in landfills, so I look for opportunities to use old garments and repurpose fabric to create new pieces. I love to make: - knit and crochet garments and amigurumi - "thrift flips" and reworked garments - medival-era costumes
