Ruth Easterbrook | 1984 – Present

Ruth Easterbook is known for hand built functional plates, vessels, butter dishes, and other serving pieces, created with slabs, pinched clay, and molds, in a midrange red clay fired in oxidation. The surface techniques include treatment with underglazes, terra sigilatta, glaze pencils, wax resist, sgrafitto, and a transparent glaze.

Surface design is influenced by the illustrators Tomi dePaolo and Maurice Sendlak.
