Laura Clemons www.finecrafts.org/Clemons/Laura.htm www.uppercumberlandartsalliance.com/laura_clemons.htm I look for simple beauty in the functional pieces I throw on the wheel and hand-build from slabs, whether it's a decorative platter or vase carved with organic, often botanical, designs, or a utilitarian bowl with just the right flare of its rim. The bowl form, in fact, is how I got my start. In 1999, I began studying with potter Pamela Patton in order to make some of the bowls used by Putnam County Habitat for Humanity for its signature fund-raising event, Cooking on the Square. Every year since, I've contributed at least 200 bowls to help this worthy cause reach its goals.
