Description

Samantha Bartlett Wisteria Ginger Vase

Graceful, leafy stems trail the sides of the elegant, shapely ginger vase. The sheen is more lustrous than glossy. At 6″ tall, with a 3.5″ diameter opening at the top, the vase will accommodate a generous bouquet of blooms – though it stands alone very nicely. Due to the firing process each piece has small variations.

Samantha Bartlett is an associate potter at Wheaton Arts Pottery Studio.

Since then Samantha has taken every opportunity to learn more about the art, taking classes in Philadelphia at the Fleisher Art center and University City Arts League and in Fairbanks Alaska where she was able to learn under James Brashear at the University of Fairbanks. Samantha has a passion for atmospheric kiln firing and has learned so much in her time at Wheaton Arts working with Terry Plaskett and the other potters. She primarily works with porcelain clay bodies and loves to make functional pottery that people will use everyday in their homes.
