CERAMICS BY FERN

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!

 Clay is a constant challenge always presenting new questions of form, design and surface treatment. The success of a finished piece is dependent on so many variables. The completed pot represents an amalgam of all previous approaches, successes, failures, as well as conscious and subconscious visions of good pottery. 

In my present studio, I am using a wide range of color and temperatures to finish my work.  Bowls, plates, vases, jars, and lamps are the forms I continue to explore on the wheel or by handbuilding.  Low fire, mid-range, high fire, and raku constitute my menu of kiln choice.  Whimsical designs, geometric lines, free flowing brush strokes are all within my repertoire of design.  The end result is a piece that I hope you will enjoy and use in your home.

 Ode to a Grecian Urn, above, won the Award of Merit at the  Roberson Regional Art Exhibition, 2011.

The raku firing process produces variations in color.  Click on raku page for many examples.
