My logo symbolizes the ancient belief that the world was composed of four basic elements: air, fire, water, and earth -- the elements necessary to make pottery.
Creating customized pottery is especially enjoyable for me. Cartouches,
life pots, and worry dolls have been created for particular people. Often
someone approaches me with the glimmer of an idea that, together, we develop
into a special piece. I take great pleasure in such creations.
Here are some pages with more of my work.
A little more about myself, Angela Smith Raku* Raku is a pottery firing technique dating back to 16th century Japan. In the western world, the glazed ware is removed from the kiln at approximately 1800 degrees, placed in a pit containing combustible materials, and tightly covered. This procedure reduces the oxygen in the chamber creating interesting and unique effects in the pottery's glaze. |
These are my new spirit dolls. Each is very personal and reflects some inner part of myself Spirit Dolls |
