Anne Porter-Elliott's pottery exists, perhaps as pottery always has, precisely on the line between function and art. With each piece of pottery she tries to create something that is finely crafted yet functional, something aesthetically pleasing yet natural. Each functional piece should be formed to hold up to everyday use, but that doesn't mean that it can't be graceful and artistic. Her layering of glazes enhances the natural elements & elegant form of each piece- she works tirelessly to get just the right coloring; glazing & re-glazing until the piece takes on its unique personality~ this is when she knows it is ready to find a new home.
