Connie Christensen

 As studio potter and ceramics instructor Connie focuses on wheel thrown and altered functional pottery. She creates   pouring and drinking vessels. During her online workshop with TeachinArt, she created a tea set from clay to finish. When I interviewed her, I learned some interesting facts about her career. 

Marie EVB GIbbons tells her story. 

Instead of using ceramic glazes, Marie used acrylic paints to decorate her sculptures. She took a decorating medium which is fairly cheap to buy to create extraordinary articles from otherwise fairly ordinary objects. Although Marie worked with clay, her decorating techniques are suitable for any surface.

One step in the multiple painting and firing processes involved in China Painting with Paul Lewing.

Paul Lewing; Painting Artist, china painter, ceramic artist and book Author.

Imagine a mule packer, horse wrangler, and hunting and fishing guide, telling stories. Paul Lewing have a few passion and all are intertwined with each other. He loves clay, especially if he can enhance the surface, he loves hiking and being out in nature and he loves documenting his love on canvas. His canvas is often the permanent surface of a wall of tiles or the floor of a swimming pool. His stories are fascinating when his work becomes part of architectural elements his it becomes evident that Paul is an authentic artist.  

Shino glazing and the artist BEHIND it. 

Connie Christensen is not just a well experienced potter and instructor, but she learned from the best of the best. The late potter and activist Malcolm Davis created shino glazes that lives on in the hands of many potters in the USA today. Connie learned from him and she is taking some of his legacy forth by teaching shino glazing to potters across the world.
