Shirley Johnson, potter. Home Excelsior, MN Education M.A. in English Literature University of Wisconsin Worked at MacKenzie pottery for 9 years Artist Statement "I make pots for use - bowls for soup or cereal, cups for tea or wine - all meant as much for the hand as for the eye. I am interested in the way a pot, hand held, seen close up, reveals itself: the rhythms of its making, the character of clay and glazes, the marks of fire as well as those subtle modulations of form that give a pot both its emotional content and its fitness for use."
