Kathryn Finnerty featured in Ceramics Monthly

Kathryn Finnerty, new instructor of ceramics, is featured in an article "Kathryn Finnerty" in the current June/July/August 2009 issue of Ceramics Monthly. In the article she talks about the challenges and rewards of setting up her own pottery studio with her husband, Tom Rohr who also teaches ceramics at Lane, in Pleasant Hill.

Kathryn writes, "I have always been drawn to 19th century English pottery and use it as an inspiration for my work. I specifically enjoy the playful, ornamental aspects of Victorian Majolica and the decorative sprigged surfaces of salt-fired stoneware and porcelain wares. I attempt to understand and interpret these influences in an effort to create a body of work relevant in our contemporary world, while fulfilling my personal creative impulses."
