Rebecca Matarazzi
Using a variety of techniques in clay, my objective is to produce pieces for utilitarian purposes that convey a sense of tradition while allowing new concepts and ideas to develop. I get inspiration from the natural environment, creating designs for the home and kitchen that are pleasing both visually and tactilely. My teaching style is to observe each student and assess their individual needs in perfecting our craft. With a BS in Ceramics, Penn State University, I spend my days working in my pottery studio, using the Florida sun to hasten drying while fresh pieces await their first firing!
