​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 began a
studio-intensive sabbatical year,
experimenting with new clays,
glazes, and firing processes.
Three new bodies of work
evolved during this
year-long studio immersion:
​

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 the 
bones of trees juxtaposed against
mercurial mountain skies. 

You can find Patti's work at:
