Linda Manning
What began in 2007 as a once-a-week break for two hours, has become my passion and career full time. I mostly hand-build my work with coil and slab construction. My newest work is finished using primarily underglaze, slips and oxides, with limited use of glazes and cold finishes. Pieces are fired in oxidation, at times utilizing multiple firings. Growth in my work has taught me I must learn to trust the process…the hardest part of that lesson…is learning to trust the process. My life experiences will influence each piece, and although I could tell my story of what each piece means to me…I much prefer the viewer to experience the work, and discover what it means to them. I hope you enjoy and find your story in my work…Linda
