Village Clayworks by Catherine Reece



































Where to begin......I am so bowled over by this artist.

Here is just a small sampling of her claywork..some of my favorites. They are at once elegant and whimsical. I wouldn't think twice about using them at a formal dinner. Prices range, on her etsy site at the moment, from $18.00 to $48.00. Quite inexpensive for handcrafted pottery. In this society it is considered good manners to use plates and you have to have little vases to put all of those dandelions and violets your children collect. So go accidentally break those worn out plates you have had for...well forever and feed the economy!

Here is the deal. She has been working with clay for eleven years.......although she has had her hands in other mediums. She sighted a dragonfly by a lake a few years ago, became intrigued with all of the smallest of creatures and delights in telling their stories through her works. Another cool thing. Her electric kiln is supplements by solar panels on her roof. Cooler still......they travel to art shows in a diesel truck fueled with recycled vegetable oil.

Both the artist and her work make me smile!! catherinereece on etsy
