Show notes

Lee Wolfe has been a studio potter for 40 years. Lee's ceramic work emerges from the organic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains where she lives in Asheville, North Carolina. The voluptuous forms and the woodland creatures in Lee's pottery are totemic; intended to bring into your home the wild inexplicable magic of awakening to a bird's lyrics, eating from the garden and falling asleep under a moonlit blanket.

The "Faire" Way To Sell | Jannalyn Bailey | Episode 883 Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Curious Clay, founded by Jannalyn Bailey, was born out of an intense love of the handmade form and the desire to make attainable art objects. As a former painter, the presence of the artist's hand in Jannalyn's works is very important to her. Both the clay form and the glaze application retains the gesture from Jannalyn's hand. Being somewhat self-taught, Jannalyn's work is primarily slab-built with some element of hand forming/sculpting. Jannalyn hopes her works can live in new homes, and be a part of the slower moments in the day, whether it's your morning cup of coffee or afternoon meditation. Jannalyn finds great joy in creating one of a kind pottery, and her hope is that that joy comes through.
