Artists Russell and Christine Halstead believe creativity is essential to a healthy community . That ’ s because making art “ makes life stable in the midst of struggles ,” states their website , because it helps people consider possibilities . So after running a photography business for over 20 years while raising three children , the couple opened Lockport Art Co . in 2011 as a welcoming working studio for people from all walks of life to come and create . There , Russell , who works in clay , glass , wood and textiles , teaches pottery and glasswork classes for all levels with Christine . And there ’ s an onsite shop offering Russell ’ s and other local artists ’ pieces . Lockportart . com
