Fresh pots, new work:
In mid-March of 2020, we returned
home from remote off-grid camping
out west, just as the pandemic hit.
So we closed Linville River Pottery
to visitors, and dove deeper into
exploring fresh combinations
of clays, glaze materials,
and firing processes.
Here's a sampling of new work
that emerged from
these experiments:
Earthscape series
Inspired by backcountry camping
under spectacular starry skies, these
small handbuilt porcelain
plates/wall pieces are deeply textured,
using handmade stamps to create
scenes of stars, trees, animals,
and tiny houses.

Woodland series
Small handbuilt dark red stoneware
plates/wall pieces with porcelain slip,
layered glazes, and foraged leaf and
wildflower monoprint designs.
Wildscape series
Bowls thrown on a kickwheel,
combining the earthiness of
dark red stoneware
with the luminosity of porcelain,
with textures and multi-layered
glazes inspired by winter in the
mountains: bare bones of trees
juxtaposed against mercurial skies.
