About the Artist

California ceramic artist Marge Margulies has been working as a studio potter for more than 30 years. Expressive and sculptural vessels, functional and decorative centerpieces, and a glorious celebration of the dinner table , best describes this colorful, ever evolving, and joyous body of ceramic work. Each piece is thrown on the wheel, then a series of hand processes are used to alter the shapes. Colored glazes are applied in various ways, to achieve lively, unusual and satisfying color groupings, and deliciously soft surfaces. The intention is to make pieces that are evenly thrown, and feel lightweight and balanced. Inspired by the gorgeous geometry of succulent plants, I make multi-part functional ceramic centerpieces using subtle and exciting color combinations.

Head south on River Road 116 along the Russian River to a beautiful town of Monte Rio at Open Studio 59 you will meet two talented painters Penny Knapp and Doug Carmichael 22657 Sylvan Way, Monte Rio
