Bio

♥ABOUT ME:
My name is Shoshona Snow. I am a ceramic artist. I received my BFA in ceramics and have also done some graduate work. I own my own studio, make work and still do a little bit of teaching now and then. I'm located in Kingston, New York with my husband, Jon, and my loyal studio companion, Dudley the Boston terrier.

I pretty much just make what I like. I'm not a production potter. Most of my items are one of a kind. Although, you may see some sets from time to time.

You can see more of my work at www.shoshonasnow.com. And you can see what's going on in the studio at shoshonasnow.blogspot.com. I'm also on all those social networking sites...come find me ;)

♥MY WORK:
I'm a huge design freak and am inspired by the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. My work has a wonderful, tactile quality...you just want to touch, touch, touch. I love clean lines and clean colors.

Most of my work is thrown on the potter's wheel, although I do some hand building as well. I use fine grolleg porcelain. The entire outside surfaces are usually painted with a black slip (liquefied clay) and carved so the white porcelain beneath it is shown. This process is called sgraffito. The work is dried slowly and fired in the kiln. It is then glazed and fired once more to 2400 degrees F. The work becomes vitrified and durable and is food safe even when not glazed.
