Lindsey Tucker
WFCS Co-Owner
I am an Idaho-born Missoulian with a passion for community-building via the arts. My art-making is currently focused on functional ceramic wares (mostly cups and earrings).
My professional background is 20 years of hybrid positions in food/ beverage/hospitality, teaching, and the arts. When not making in or working for the Studio, I like to cook/dine with my loved ones, chat with my brewery folks and B&B guests, put on music & food events, and enjoy the outdoors.
