Artist Bio:
Out Of The Box Gifts - Artist Profile
Functional and decorative pottery handmade by Glenda Jordan.
Unique platters, bowls, trays and plates.
"I
am inspired by finely crafted, balanced forms, the beauty of nature, and color.
My work is a continual dance of marrying these three elements: form, decoration
and color.
I
fell in love with pottery while working on my undergraduate degree in speech
therapy at Texas Women's University. I left the teaching world to pursue
pottery full time and have been a full time ceramicist for over 30 years. All my work is
designed and handmade by me in my studio in Berkeley, California where I hand
throw and build, paint and fire my pieces. I use a special glaze process which
I have developed, similar to a batik process. It allows me to work with a large
palette of rich glaze colors with matte and gloss finishes."
Glenda's
tableware pottery is both wheel thrown and slab worked in cone 5 stoneware
ceramic. Her distinctive abstract designs are inspired nature, are hand painted
by the artist and the extraordinary colors and the matte and satin textures are
achieved through her wax resist polychrome glaze process. Her pieces are
collectible and functional works of art.
