The natural world, the beauty that I see in everything around me flows both consciously and subconsciously through all my designs.  I love taking the raw materials and making them “move” with my hands into the shapes and textures that I picture in my mind.  That, plus the play of colors on those shapes with different glazes, produces pottery that is both decorative and functional.

 

Nell has been a professional goldsmith/jeweler and potter for more than 30 years.  She is an ACV Juried Master Artisan and Juried Round the Mountain Artisan.  She teaches a broad slate of Metalsmithing courses for the Floyd Center for the Arts in Floyd, VA.
