Pottery

Rosie Floyd has always enjoyed working with her hands, either in her chosen profession as a hair-dresser or in the many flowerbeds around her home. A few years ago, she decided to try her hand at pottery as a way to escape from her everyday life and as an expression of her creativity. Rosie began lessons with Cynthia Dahlstrom and became enthralled with the earthiness of clay.

Rosie creates her pottery in a workshop in her barn.  She uses her view of the countryside and her nature loving self to inspire her work. Her mostly decorative pieces are colored in her favorite earth tones. The face vases Rosie makes are designed to be unique reflections of her personality. A favorite of Rosie’s is her “leather” collection. These pieces are textured to mimic leather both in look and feel.

Rosie’s pottery is also available at arts and crafts shows in the area and soon to be on display in her new studio.
