Collection: Pam Berry

Polka dots, stripes, and curves. Earth, energy, and color. Much of my work is influenced by 20th century modern artists. From Gene Davis's stripes to the geometric forms of Bauhaus and Suprematism artists, I seek to embrace this aesthetic in functional pottery. My work is slab built, often hand painted with underglazes, so each kiln opening is filled with an abundance of color. Trying to enhance everyday with something beautiful guides my work and hopefully brings joy to others. I took my first pottery class in 1979. Since then, wherever I lived, I sought out a local pottery studio to continue to learn and create pots. Now I am fortunate to spend many uninterrupted hours in my home studio, Kent Oaks Pottery.
