Clay Work by
V. Norton

After graduating from UCLA, she began playing with clay. Her favorite clay she uses is Porcelain, always using lead-free glazes so that these pieces can be functional. She also loves the bright colors of the low-fire glazes for her Raku creations and fantasy platters. She has traveled extensively in Mexico, North and South America, Europe and Africa finding, in every country, the indigenous people creating their vessels and masks to represent their spirits. She, too, is a mask maker, both large and small. Being quite varied in her work, she also has over 30 years experience as a professional Calligrapher. She loves to do commission work, i.e.: a special poem or saying; wedding invitations and envelopes, etc. She also teaches privately and taught for many years at college level. Merging her love of clay with her calligraphy, she is now using clay as yet another medium for her lettering.
