Lynn Duryea

Lynn Duryea is known for a wide range of thrown functional work as well as a large body of primarily slab constructed terra cotta sculptures.

Duryea employs cut tar paper templets as patterns for her sculptural terra cotta components. Duryea also creates mixed media sculptures using the clay components with metal. Her sculptures can range in size from pedestal pieces to 8-foot-tall objects. The surfaces of both the functional and sculptural work are finished using a combinations of slip, glaze and underglaze techniques.

Duryea?s work has been influenced by a variety of structures, everyday domestic objects, tools and implements, architecture, and alphabet letters.
