Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.” - Ryunosuke Satoro
Staff
As our membership base of thinkers and makers continues to grow, so does our small-but-mighty staff. Operating as a collaborative team, each CraterWorks staff member brings their own diverse set of innovative skills and experiences to support our shared passion of fueling creative expression in the community. Whether they’re teaching classes, developing partnerships or making something incredible, these are the people who help make CraterWorks what it is.

Ross Kellogg
Born and raised on a small Southern Oregon farm, Ross Kellogg developed his shop-skills at an early age as the son of a woodworker. Since earning his BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2015, this proud “design nerd” has leveraged his passion crafting custom furniture, building sculptures and fluidly moving through all shop disciplines, with a specific focus on digital fabrication.
Nathan Smith
Tinkerer, Fiddler, Breaker of Things...Brian proudly wears many hats. A true maker before there was a name for it, his experience varies widely, working on commercial fishing boats in Alaska, establishing non-profit organizations and building props for film and theater. As "the face of CraterWorks", you can find Brian behind the front desk or behind the table saw - and when you do, feel free to tell him your ideas, share suggestions or plan a brainstorming session over coffee!
