About Me

Introduction

My name is Melodee. I have retired and enjoy hand building. We have a small group of hand building enthusiasts here in the adult community I live in. We meet weekly and share ideas. We do not have a kiln and use a professional service for firing.
I enjoy embellishing my work with wood, stones, bones and objects I have collected over the years.

What I Love about Ceramics

I love how the clay often controls how I am able to manipulate and form it. The stages of anticipation, the creative release and once in awhile total satisfaction with the whole process.

How I started with ceramics

I took ceramics in college and reintroduced myself to the clay after almost 50 years.

What inspires me

Native American Poetry, writings of their history.
Life inspires me in every day living.
