Pottery

Cynthia Dahlstrom has more than a quarter of a century’s experience when it comes to creating art from the earth. When asked at a very early age what she wanted to be when she grew up, Cynthia immediately responded “an artist”. She feels that she was born to be what she is and as she grows older, her art becomes a truer reflection of her personality. Spirituality, culture, and historical artwork influence her creations, while slight movement and small details that she observes affect design.

Cynthia has four separate studios: clay, glaze, precious metal clay/luster, and paint. She blends traditional techniques with high tech modern applications for truly one-of-a-kind art work. Cynthia also incorporates the Majolica (15^thcentury Italian pottery) and Raku (16^th century Japanese pottery) firing processes to provide colorful expressions of herself in her work.

Cynthia’s creations are also available at her studio by appointment only.  Her work was published in Rosette Gaults 2003 book, Paper Clay.
