Art Opening Featuring Studio Potter Peggy Quinn - Artlore Studio
Peggy Quinn creates functional and decorative pottery from her studio in East Springfield Pennsylvania. Her work is primarily wheel thrown, often with hand modeled additions. Much of her pottery is heavily influenced by simple, sedate and elegant pottery from the Song Dynasty in China. Yet, she has an exuberant side as well. Some of her pieces can be be bright and playful, fun and funky. Her work is consistently well crafted and of exceptional quality. All her glazes, slips and underglazes are formulated in-house using the potter’s raw materials instead of purchasing commercially made finishes. She learned her craft at Edinboro University with a BFA in Ceramics and furthered her study with Graduate work in Asian Art History. She held many jobs in the ceramic field in California including production potter for two companies and Clay and Glaze Specialist for a Ceramic Manufacturing plant and she worked at the Chinese Culture Foundation in SanFrancisco in the Asian Art Gallery.
