Ellen Shankin – Cruet

Description

Ellen has been making quiet pots with strong forms for close to 50 years. Her resume is impressive indeed. She makes her pottery in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southern Virginia. This cruet is stoneware with ash glazes.
This is a signature pot of hers. 6″h x 5″w x 2″d

“Architecture, the organic structure of nature around me, particular feelings about color and light, and my sense of the relationship between form and use, play heavily in the instincts and decisions that go into making these pieces.”
