| Introduction | Amy Lovelady Strickland of Dawsonville, GA loves to play in the mud, and is happy to share her passion with you. Specializing in both functional and Raku pottery, Amy finds that she is limited only by her own imagination and the imagination of others. Functional wear is food, dishwasher and microwave safe, and you’re encouraged to use your new pottery every day. There are no special care instructions for the functional wear. It has been fired to temperatures above 2200 degrees farenheit, and can be used for cooking, baking and serving. American raku pottery is based on an ancient Japanese firing method, where the pottery is removed from a special kiln at full temperature and placed in a reduction chamber where newspapers, leaves or sawdust catch on fire. A lid is placed on the chamber and the resulting deprivation of oxygen makes the special raku glazes change colors resulting in different colors and patterns with every piece. Amy’s studio is at her home in Dawsonville, GA. She gives private lessons and her work is available at the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce and White Interiors in Dawsonville, Cranberry Corners and Naturally Georgia in Dahlonega, GA. |
