POTTERY

Ellen Mulligan is a ceramic artist making pottery for everyday use. “Growing up in a large family, some of my favorite memories are of seeking a quiet corner for a cup of tea. But also, of the large family dinners where there was always room for one more, each meal a celebration and an occasion. I work with porcelain clay for the pure pleasure I get from using it. Porcelain is rich and luscious, a wonderful background for the imagery and colors I like to use. I enjoy making mugs; bowls, plates and platters. I like to imagine my pots stacked in the dishwasher – sturdy, dirty and well-used. The idea of my pieces being invited to your table is what makes this all so special to me.”

SANDY PANCRAZI

POTTERY

Ceramic mug by Sandy Pancrazi

Sandy Pancrazi is a studio potter working out of her basement studio in northern New Jersey. She works in earthenware and stoneware making functional pottery"I love the palette of colors available in Earthenware pottery. Those colors combined with the rich velvety color of the clay make an alluring combination. Painting on the clay gives rise to an infinite number of designs and never gets boring. I like to think of my pottery being used in the daily rituals of family life and one of my favorite pastimes, eating good food. “Sandy is a member of Gallery23 in Blairstown and the Potters Guild of New Jersey.
