East Creek Studio is open for the first time on this fall tour. It sits next to Ruth and Paul Ferrier's custom log home. (move your mouse over this picture to see the log home.) Her wheel sits in front of the window that overlooks her wonderful flower gardens. Ruth will be the first to admit that she has just begun her learning path in pottery. In keeping with the theme of learning and beginning potters, she has invited other student potters in the area to display their work in her studio for the tour.

Ruth Ferrier

Bio:

Ruth obtained her bachelors degree from Slippery Rock University and has studied art in various forms on and off all her life. She uses art as her creative outlet. The flower gardens that she sees while sitting at her potter's wheel are a wonderful example of her artistic talent and dedication.

She started throwing about three years ago by taking classes at Windblown Studio and was hooked on a pathway to learning about clay, throwing, handbuilding, glazes, forms, Raku and firing.

Her work is an example of her learning, her artistic touch, and a dedication to growth.

Artist Statement:

"I'm just learning. I enjoy that and it is currently my goal. Most of my pieces are the result of my learning process."

She is just now entering that stage where she can use clay as a medium to express herself artistically.

The bird in the bath on the left is one of Ruth's newest expressions.
