| Introduction |
My name is Anne Brantley. I live in Oak Island, NC. I enjoy both the wheel and hand building. I focus mostly on functional pieces but my husband and I have flipped houses in the past and I like to add a piece of us in the houses. I make backsplashes, pool side ceramic inserts and drawer knobs

| What I Love about Ceramics |
I love the colors as well as versatility of the medium. I also enjoy working with stain glass. I like to combine mediums together and ceramics creates a foundation I can add other medium to. Glass or weavings or alcohol paint to ceramics creating texture and dimension. Ceramics are strong and functional
|
| How I started with ceramics |
I took classes at Gaston College. Being from NC, I have always collected pottery from the state. It is part of our history.
|
| What inspires me |
The ocean(sand, wind, waves, birds, shells). Nature (flowers, plants, animals)  COLOR. I love COLOR.
|
| What I'm working on at the moment |
Ceramic mosaic that will be tabletop for an umbrella stand around the pool. I use a stain glass pattern I design and then I cut pattern out of clay. Paint with underglaze and then fire. Set in concrete. I am working on backsplash tiles and knobs for an outdoor kitchen. Soup bowls for a fundraiser

| My CV |
This is my hobby and love. I am blessed I can do it with joy and no stress of commercial value. I am an engineer by trade and education and this is my outlet to be balanced.
