Director of Development: Toni L Crouch tlcrouch-at-watershedceramics.org Toni joined Watershed as Director of Development in November, 2011. In this role she will lead Watershed’s development program to ensure its financial stability and growth. Prior to joining Watershed, Toni worked at all areas of fundraising and nonprofit management. After a successful career in international education as a counselor and principal at American and International schools in Singapore, Argentina, and throughout the Eastern European region, she returned to the United States and began working in nonprofits. During her 25-year career in nonprofit development and management, Toni coordinated several capital campaigns, annual appeals, and solicitation of major gifts as well as coordinating and overseeing major conventions and a variety of special events. Additionally, she has written and managed significant grants from both corporations and foundations providing support for national and international programs. She has written articles and delivered numerous presentations on fundraising issues, adult education, and the use of technology to enhance educational programs. She earned her BA from Vassar College (NY) and her MEd from Salem State University (MA). Toni lives in Damariscotta where she’s slowly renovating her 170-year-old antique Cape Cod house. Toni moved to Maine in April 2011 from her home in the Washington, DC area to enjoy its natural beauty and the calmer lifestyle and pace. Administrative Assistant: Fiona Clark info-at-watershedceramics.org Fiona is pleased to join Watershed’s creative community. As a practicing studio artist, she is enamored of process and the well-made object. Building on her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and years producing works in blown glass, Fiona has had the opportunity to attend Penland School of Crafts and Haystack Mountain School for flameworking and Maine College of Art for jewelry and metalsmithing. From their homes in Cleveland, Ohio, Burnsville, North Carolina and now Jefferson, Maine, she and her partner, Vincent DeLisle, have worked together as Firefly Studios. In this collaborative effort making work in combinations of blown and flameworked glass, spun and fabricated metals, and turned wood, they have exhibited in many of the top craft fairs including Coconut Grove Arts Festival, St. Louis Art Fair and the Lakefront Festival of Arts at the Milwaukee Art Museum where they were awarded a Best of Show in 2002. Currently Fiona’s focus is making jewelry with her own flameworked glass beads, mixed metals and bead weaving techniques. Fiona and Vincent are members of the Maine Crafts Guild and exhibit their works in several of the Guild’s events throughout the year. A recent commission for a leaded glass window and a family quilt project have opened doors to more narrative development and continuing exploration for Fiona.
