About Me
- Rita Ryan
- The opening of the kiln is the most remarkable experience I have with clay. The clay goes into the kiln as an ugly duckling and comes out a beautiful swan. Not ever really knowing what the results will be adds to the excitement of trying new colors and ideas, every lift of the kiln lid is an adventure. Certainly, it taps my inner child. I haven’t really figured out what I want out of clay,or what the clay wants out of me. There doesn't ever seem to be enough time in the day to do all I would like in clay. I did manage to build a studio in my home by adding on a room. Being a clean freak doesn't help, I can't tell you how much time I take cleaning before creating. It's like making the bed before you go to sleep. I spend my mornings analyzing futures markets. I believe my analytical skills are the best asset I have with my clay projects, I can really look through a piece with an objective eye. I am happy to be considered a potter & happier to have my beautiful daughter working with me in the studio.
