Carla Bradshaw, Ceramics

I love clay. Getting dirty, losing time in pursuit of
a pleasing form, melding form and function,
finding the balanced integration of color and
design, the satisfaction and sometimes
disappointments of opening the kiln are all
aspects of the experience that I love so much.
We all have many identities. I have had a
professional career, a family, and even other
artistic outlets. My identity as a ceramic artist is
one I cherish deeply. I aim for you to experience
feelings, both seriousness and joyful, associated
with our precious human life. Nobody does
anything truly alone. I’ve been taught and
supported. My debt of gratitude goes to these
outstanding ceramic artists: Maria Root,
Primitive Pottery, Sandra Farmer, and Rupa
Palasamudram.

Thank you, friends!
