May Artist of the Month
Ann Sciba - Pottery
When Ann was in college in 1976 getting an elemantary education degree, She decided to add a concentration in art requiring 18 hours of art classes. To complete her hours, She needed an art class meeting from 1-3 three times a week. That class was Beginning Pottery. Having no clue, She attended the first class in a dress and hose which was the dress requirement for women at the school. She wore jeans and and an old shirt after that first day. She then became a mud enthusiast lasting almost 55 years now.
She has always been fascinated with the possibilities of this material from the earth. There are an infinite number of ways to use it, decorate it, color it, change it or manipulate it. A potter is limited only by skill and imagination.
Although she has workerd as a teacher, a draftsperson and a seamstress she discovered clay has been the center of her world. Using dishes she made, lightning a room with one of her lamps, or having feedback from a customer always makes her day.
