Gallery of current works in clay. Working in clay is something of a “side-trip” for Gwinn. With ideas to explore, she has executed a selection of small wall pieces, including the Clay Mail Series of small envelope images and The Altars. After shaping the pieces, they have been bisque fired, some are also smoked fired and embellished in a variety of ways. For these pieces, Helen is working among experienced clay artists in a cooperative pottery studio where expert assistance is available along with creative camaraderie. Please contact the artist about availability or with any questions about the art.
