Barbara McDonald is known for functional pottery thrown on a kick wheel. Early work was slip molded. McDonald and her husband, Kennedy McDonald, worked together at McDonald Pottery, formerly Markus Ceramics. They used Ohio red ball clay and fired in a square electric kiln during their years as Markus Ceramics. During the McDonald Pottery years, they switched to stoneware and firing in a gas kiln. Their glaze pallet included earth tones, opaque whites and blues.
