Create your own pottery masterpiece in just one night! It's easier than you think and students of all artistic levels are welcome to join this evening of art, accompanied by festive refreshments. Students will be guided through the creative process from inspiration to final firing. Create your own design on a hand-selected, pre-fired piece of bisque ware using underglaze, underglaze pencils, brushes and slip trailers. There will be plenty of demonstrations and one-on-one guidance to support each student's unique artistic endeavor.
Susan Reynolds
Growing up with midwestern roots, Susan Reynolds remembers being surrounded by the influence of the Arts & Crafts movement. From art to architecture, color to design, the impressions stayed with her and ultimately showed up in what she collected and created. Brief summers lakeside in northern Wisconsin provided the connections to nature that are revealed in her current work.
Reynolds’ work is primarily wheel-thrown but recently she branched out into hand-building. She begins with perfectly symmetrical pieces that provide the blank canvas on which to work. The rims, edges and surfaces are then altered with tools and brushes but mostly, with her hands. The “manipulated edge” pieces end up like her; imperfectly perfect.
Reynolds received a BS in Art at UW Madison but spent 25 years in e-Commerce. After leaving the corporate world in 2019 she rediscovered her love of clay. She opened Longford Road Ceramics in 2020 as a full-time working artist.
