Chic speaks about her work..."It is a thrill to feel my hands dancing with the clay on the potter’s wheel, making a round pot and then altering it by pushing and pull the clay here and there to see what might emerge. Colorful glazes in blues, greens and earth tones are my specialty. Vases, large and small bowls, platters, salad sets, jars, and casseroles are just a few of the many items I make to delight your eyes, hands and heart!"
