ARTIST BIO
My interest in pottery began after I had retired from working and was looking for something to do with all my free time. I took a four-week Intro to Ceramics course at MudCity Clay in Rochester, NH. I discovered that I LOVE the process of taking a lump of clay and turning it into something that is both functional and pleasing to look at. I joined MudCity Clay and gradually turned my basement into a pottery studio where I now spend many hours happily working on my skills.
I use the slab building technique. Each piece begins as a flat slab of clay that is rolled, cut and manipulated by hand to form an object. The final shape, design and colors evolve during the creation process. I enjoy trying new textures, stamps and glaze combinations to create visually interesting pieces.
I call my craft “Mudtangle” because it gives me the same feeling of relaxation, creativity and well-being as the Zentangle drawing method.
