Nancy Blair
Master Potter, Sculptor, Author, Instructor
" My art stems from a lifelong interest in Nature, ancient myth and as a healing modality. I am inspired by the colors, shapes, textures and seemingly random movements and rhythm of the natural world. I aim to invent evocative pottery and sculptures that suggest a sense of playfulness and whimsy in form and surface.
I’m currently working on ceramic sculpture for an upcoming solo show at Miami Dade College Kendall Gallery, In The Temple of the Beekeeper, a multi-sensory installation of large vessel forms that evokes an enchanting and healing space for contemplation and wonder."
