Featured Artist: Lynn Fisher - Ceramics

Growing up was the natural world a wonder to you inhabited by friendly creatures and stories of fairies? Lynn Fisher lived in this kind of wonderland, reading survival manuals and imagining herself living off the land. Fast forward to today she now creates porcelain and stoneware pottery that reflects these childhood dreams.

Lynn has been a professional potter for many years and each stage of development has brought her closer to the imaginings of her early life. The current work is entirely handbuilt starting with a thin slab of clay into which she embeds real leaves that she assembles into teapots, cups, vases and other functional forms. The pieces are very light, about what you would expect a few leaves to weigh, yet a fairy could not make them as the process is very intricate including the building, drying, brushing, glazing, waxing and high firing.

Lovely as they are they are also food safe and durable. You too can recreate your childhood dreams with these fine pieces.

Find her this winter in Florida at a handful of shows including, Artfest Fort Myers, February 4 & 5.
