Who Is MsElaineousPottery?

Elaine Klapproth is Ms. Elaine.  I love making pottery - not just one type of pot over and over, not just one color.  I enjoy variety, miscellaneous shapes, colors, and challenges...hence MsElaineousPottery!

I love glazes.  The greatly anticipated results from chemical reactions in the kiln....the minerals, oxidation, and reduction all play a part, guided by the artist but not completely controlled.

Brief Bio:

My first exposure to clay was as a child exploring deposits in the creeks of the Cincinnati, Ohio area.

Earning a BS in Chemistry from Purdue University, I pursued my interest in the science of chemical reactions.

Years later as a resident of Hampstead, NC I rekindled my interest in the ceramic arts.

Influences:

My influences are as varied as my life's experiences and travels.  Forms, colors and shapes - giant California redwoods, Tlingit ceremonial masks, Costa Rican rainforests, or Galapagos wildlife.  All have had an impact on me and my art.
