Carol Lebreton
Carol Lebreton is known for hand-built porcelain or stoneware functional vessel forms. A second body of work is hand-built stoneware sculptural forms. Subject matter included seed pods and stylized animals. She often used traditional Japanese-inspired glazes on the functional pieces. Depending on the project at handLebreton used a variety of firing techniques including electric, gas, and wood-fueled kilns. Lebreton often placed ceramic beads inside her sculptures and double wall bowls so the pieces rattle when moved.
