About Me
| Introduction | My name is Paula Falgas and I moved to Asheville after retiring from NASA. I love throwing functional work and especially love vases. Doing a little bit of slab work making platters. I want to learn everything!!! lol |
| What I Love about Ceramics | I love the feel of the clay and the place it takes my mind to. When I go into my home studio I enter I have had such a busy hectic but wonderful life thus far raising 4 children and with 8 grand children so far with about another expected 4 from 2 of our kids. Of course I can’t forget to mention being a parent to our 2 furry shitzu babies and every animal I can. I have never tried any type of art growing up not even coloring books. So at age 60 now I am in love with every aspect of pottery! Wish I had some pottery friends though.
|
| How I started with ceramics | I just took a couples valentine’s evening one night of wine and pottery |
| What inspires me | Discovering the ability to make instead of buying things. Seeing the world like colors and shapes in a new wonderful way! |
| What I'm working on at the moment | Slab work making platters with slings |
