Rosette Gault high fire stoneware and porcelain pottery booth at a forest craft fair on Martha's Vineyard Summer 1975.
My ware at Tacoma WA Potters Sale 1977. I entered MFA Ceramics for more formal and technical claybody and glaze calculation- help meet expenses by pottery sales and also working in University of Puget Sound Print shop as layout artist illustrator. In graduate school my research on adding pulp as substitute to nylon was a stinky royal flop because in part I lacked the proper mixing out of lumps. My search for a way to heal cracks began and would take years.... Highest level experts explained the logic of why it was impossible!
Serving plate- hand wheel thrown china clay about 1986 - similar to hundreds of production ware I made for my booth with thousands of hand painted tile at Seattles Pike Place Market. The need to work quickly and efficiently was perfect practice in brush control which decades later I would use in watercolor. About 14 in diameter. Collectors may recognize-remember this line. But by then I was well on the way selling my editions of ceramic art nationwide in fine craft museum stores, Nieman Marcus and such. Photo by artist.
