My fascination with pottery from ancient cultures and traveling the world has been my inspiration for creating “Gone Rogue Treasures”. I use volumetric transfer to put the images that inspire me on my work. I’m originally from Walnut Creek Ca. Now, I’m happy to be in Gold Hill, Oregon where I spend as much time as possible in my Pottery Barn.Contact Sandie:Email: moc.liamtoh@13asnas
I first experienced throwing on the wheel in a pottery class at College of the Redwoods around 1975. Some decades later I rediscovered the joy of playing with mud when I realized that the school I was teaching at, Sisson Elementary in Mount Shasta, California had a wonderfully equipped ceramics studio just begging to be used. For the last ten years of my teaching career, I took my students into the studio, twice a week to create “kid art” by hand building and wheel throwing. Three years ago when I retired, I began taking ceramics classes from Sean Kenny at College of the Siskiyous. I now share a lovely studio with my talented wife Patt. Our view of the Eddy mountain range and Mount Shasta gave me the inspiration for this series of carved mugs.

Artist’s StatementArt has always been part of my life, as a writer, a weaver of fiber and baskets. I also work in metal, wood and paint, but I didn’t discover the joy of ceramics until I retired from teaching Math, Art and Science at a Middle School in Mt. Shasta. . I think John Prine’s lyrics best sum up my approach to being a maker of art:“…Life is a blessing, it’s a delicatessenof all the little things that you do…”Email: moc.liamg@yesuacttapPhone: (530) 768-6489 (text only, please)
I have been involved with pottery since the early 1990’s with an emphasis on wheel thrown pieces. Currently I am focusing on Sgraffito. Images from nature are my inspiration and my one of a kind pieces are not only decorative but functional and suitable for the table.
As a clay artist, I am inspired and frequently surprised by clay’s versatility. I enjoy making use of texture, contrast, color and multiple elements to make forms from teapots to birdhouses that are esthetically pleasing and somewhat humorous. I frequently incorporate some reference to human form or movement. At other times, I simply enjoy the technical challenges of constructing a difficult form. Sometimes my art stops just short of kitsch, sometimes not, and it frequently leaves the observer wondering if the object is really made of clay.

Firesong Ceramics
I was born in Southern Oregon when trees covered most of the land. Trees have provided the inspiration for most of my artwork whether it was oil paints, watercolors, or pen and ink drawings. Now they inform my pottery. Now and then, one can see a touch of geometric precision in a series of pieces. influenced by my study of physics and mathematics. The math and science in my background has helped in glaze formulation.
My future husband introduced me to pottery in 1990. Soon I was developing glazes to set off his pottery and dabbling in creating my own artistic pieces. Starting in 2006, I began showing and selling my own creations. I introduce a new collection every several years. My first successful line was the Spring Reeds which feature sprigged grasses. This morphed into a line of modern geometric shapes that stood cubes on a vertex to make a vase. A workshop last fall turned the cubes back on a side and into lidded boxes with inlaid patterns. My latest series is the Madrone grove collection featuring the negative space between Madrone tree trunks.
My shop on Etsy is called Firesong Pottery.

I derive much inspiration for my work in clay from Mother Earth and her natural world of beauty, colors, shapes, patterns and raw materials. I love exploring form and function, and all aspects of the versatile medium that is clay. I feel that my pottery is characterized by functionality and the durable qualities of high-fire stoneware and glazes, combined with an aesthetic pursuit of grace and beauty through unique decorative patterns and designs using slips and wax-resist techniques in a variety of ways. I truly enjoy making every day usable wares for table and home, which complement my interests in culinary and gardening. Please go to my Etsy store online if you wish to acquire some of my work. I will update my online store for Clayfolk 2020, and for Holiday purchases through the end of the year.

Riverpoint Studio
After retiring from my job as a computer programmer working for a large company based in Southern California, I decided to explore different hobbies and settled on pottery after taking a class at Rogue Community College. I discovered a joy in creating something from a pile of clay. I try my hand at different types of clay work including functional ware, sculpture and garden items. My studio is Riverpoint Studio in Merlin and I currently sell my pieces at various shows in the area including Clayfolk Show and Sale, Hugo Ladies Quilt Show and Southern Oregon Artist Show and Sale. My ceramic pieces are now available for purchase at G Street Marketplace, 137 SW G St, Grants Pass, Oregon, Booth 45B.
