May's featured artist Ann Rusch: | love the
freedom of clay. If you can dream it, you can

do it. You'll probably have a few set backs, you
might have to alter a few things, you may even
have to learn a new technique, try different
clays, or pore though different books, but you
can always find a way! There is more than a life-
time of learning to be done, and that suits me
just fine. I also love the inspiration I get from the
many other great potters out there. In terms
of my own work, I love working with B-mix
and fire my work to Cone 6 and 8. My pieces

are mostly functional, the bigger the better.
