Alice Federico Exhibition
George Billis Gallery
This event has ended.
Six years ago, I became interested in the work of the English potter, Lucie Rie. I read her glaze notes and began LOOKING closely at her forms. How did she make these simple forms with big bellies, cinched necks, and small feet? I put a photo of one of her most famous pots on my studio wall to be my inspiration. I treasure every minute I spent with Lucie. Though I never met her, she taught me to see pots in a different way. She taught me to look at form. For several years, I concentrated on making simple expressive forms, influenced by her. The pots were elegant and quiet, leaving room for bold surfaces with occasional marks but little decoration.
