Jenny Lou Sherburne will brighten the Cross Street Building again this year for our annual Spruce Pine potter's market.
"My primary method is throwing on the potters wheel. Then, I generally alter the forms, by manipulating the clay with my hands, pushing, pinching, darting or stacking pieces. Finally, I carve and add textures then bisque and glaze with lots of colors! I use a white mid fire clay fired to cone 5 and an earthenware clay fired to cone 05."
When asked for advice to young artist, Jenny Lou responds,
"When you truly enjoy what you're doing it generally strikes a chord with and speaks to (many) people. The inverse is true though, if you are trying to make things by someone else's rules or aesthetics it won't ring true to (most) people. Find your own voice."
