Introduction	Hi, my name is Gypsy I live in Washington state and love making all kinds of pottery items and most other forms of art as well.
What I Love about Ceramics	I love the freedom of the material to make almost anything I can think of and Glazing.
How I started with ceramics	In the Mid 90’s I started visiting a ceramics store and eventually started helping out until the owner had an accident and had to close the shop. After that I still did some cast ceramics until most shops in my area closed down. In 2008 I started collage courses at first to get a graphics design degree but ended up taking ceramics instead and got my Associates degree in Fine Arts. I now practice cast ceramics, hand building and thrown pottery.
What inspires me	Everything just about.
What I'm working on at the moment	More things then I should be.
My Artist Statement	I work in both thrown and slip cast pottery experimenting with form, Glaze, and mixed media incorporation. I want to bring all forms of ceramic arts into play with the intent to create excitement and engagement from those who may experience my pieces.
