Linda's studio work investigates ideas about indulgence, and implications of motion, gesture, and growth through the tradition and interpretation of the functional vessel. Form and surface relationships in decorated pottery, and low-fire and majolica methods of glazing are vehicles for this investigation. She has background in ceramic materials and glaze calculation.
