50 Year Retrospective
March 1 - April 12, 2025
The Journey
It was all for the love of clay that changed my focus from a career as a Microbiologist to that of a potter. I love my craft; how clay feels in my hands. That it endures through time and is forever providing a new learning experience. It’s my challenge which has required many years of practice, patience and tenacity.
Janet’s solo show at the Mudroom Gallery represents her more than 50 years of achievement in Ceramics; from her earliest salt-glazed jar to finely carved porcelains, colorfully painted vases and sculpture.
“Clay as Art” is my goal and inspiration. My intention as a potter was and is a spiritual one, to be one with the earth. At this stage of my career I am more interested in making “clay as art” but then there is always the call of the “zen” of throwing multiples of plates, mugs & bowls.
I will always love clay!
