Butler County
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.
