Jemez
Mountain Pottery
Jemez Mountain Pottery is a studio gallery of fine and functional pottery run by Linda Vozar Sweet, and is located in the mountain village of Jemez Springs, next door to the Casa Blanca Guest House.
Linda
studied ceramics in Faenza, Italy at the Institute of Ceramic Art, and
has been working in clay for over 25 years. The pottery is made with white
or red stoneware and is fired to 2100 degrees. It's either thrown on the
potter's wheel or constructed from slabs and is decorated in a variety
of lead-free glazes.
All functional pieces are safe to use in oven, microwave, and dishwasher.
The raku pieces are fired
in the ancient method of the Japanese tradition. The pot is removed red
hot from the kiln, placed in a chamber of combustible material and smothered,
resulting in a variety of glazed surfaces and a blackened clay body.
The Ravenna plaque is a classic figurative representation of Eros. Reminiscent of the Greco-Roman style, each piece is handcrafted and is a unique reproduction of the original plaque Linda found in the antique market of Ravenna, Italy.
