HAVE YOU SEEN THE EGG?
Enter our lobby outside The Shop and you’ll find a magnificent 3 ft tall ceramic egg. Created by GAC pottery studio assistant Sue Doolittle, it is a two year-long creative endeavor. It’s a technical and artistic feat to behold!
“The Egg” is a culmination of pulling together many ideas that I have been working on for years. I love the Egg shape with its perfect curves and symmetry. I grew up in nature and the scenes carved on the egg represent places I have loved. I have been carving clay for about 7 years and went from flat tile scenes to carving on thrown vessels. I’ve also made many eggs in clay from small to large. It was a natural progression to carve an egg. And then I thought “ a giant egg”! My teachers/ mentors at GAC have inspired me to grow and added to my skills so that I could do this. “The Egg” has been a great challenge for me. What’s next? The Egg is made from a high grogg stoneware clay and fired to come 10/11. It took about 2 years to make and weighs about 165-175 lbs. My husband Dennis made the stand.”
