Her artwork, functional and rooted in tradition.
As a folklorist, she has documented
cultural traditions that move across time and distance, evolving to
fit new lives and needs, even while they keep alive the seeds of
their origin
Cultured and fermented foods complete the
metaphor, with recipes and methods passing across time and distance,
evolving by region and generation.
Kelly recreates
ancient vessels that hold
cultured and fermented foods. Amphorae for fish
sauce and wines, kimchee pots and soy bottles. Salt glazed crocks
and jugs for ales, buttermilk, or cheese...and cob - earth
ovens.
Kelly loves clay, and potters; I love invention and
innovation, challenge and the sharpening of skills through practice
and critique. The only
thing better than teaching clay to newcomers, is helping
established and experienced potters to try new skills, fine tune
their work, take risks, and push themselves to a new level of
excellence.

Utilizing a
potter’s wheel my pots are formed and altered. With each
piece, I draw an image that compliments or contrasts the pattern I
have carved into black slip. I then hand paint glaze on each
piece, which creates textures and color variations. With each
piece sold I hope to enhance my customer’s day-to-day
life.
