Arline
Mayer
creates her
pottery in her home in Bennington, Vermont. She comes from a
family of
artists in the New England area. She started studying art at age
6 on
her nana's boat, and knew even then that she wanted to be an artist.
She
has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Bennington College and currently
teaches pottery to all ages at the Vermont Arts Exchange, North
Bennington, Vermont.
Arline's design sources
come from the natural world in her own backyard. She finds many
patterns and textures upon close inspection. She incorporate the
textures and symmetry of nature into the clay. Her forms are
influenced by the rich history of pottery. Arline's sculptures
are
influenced by her love for the small moments in life that remind us of
what is really important — love and family.
The
materials that she uses are stoneware clays and high-fire glazes in a
variety of colors. These durable materials make the work very
versatile. It is microwavable and dishwasher safe. |
