About the Artist:
Connie Christensen is a studio potter and ceramics instructor who focuses on wheel-thrown porcelain and functional ware. "What I want to create," she says, "are pots that are graceful, alive, that ask to be touched. I always wanted to be an artist and a scientist and in working with clay and glazes, I find myself right where I want to be." She is known for her orange shino glaze as well as her translucent celadon glazes. Her work is included in Kirkland Museum's permanent collection.
