My friend Christie has an absolutely magical touch with clay, together with a wonderful style that brings wit and whimsy to even the most mundane, every day household objects.

1. What made you choose this particular art form?

Honestly  I discovered ceramics by accident. I was a full-time high school art  teacher and was given the opportunity to head up the ceramics program at  one school. Up until then I had only worked in clay two times before-  once in high school art class and once in a college intro to ceramics  class. It was a challenge to stay ahead of the students (who had already  taken a year of ceramics) but after that experience I decided to  open my own ceramic business. I had totally fallen in love with clay!

2.What is your favorite thing to do in your chosen art?

I  begin almost every piece I make with a slab of clay. I really enjoy all  the variables this starting point allows me in creating a three  dimensional form.

 

3. What’s something new going on in your studio that you’re really excited about?

My new wall pieces! I am working on some tiles of clay that are “sewn”  together post firing resembling a quilt! I haven’t posted any photos of  them yet but will very soon on my facebook page.
