Dayle C. Tognoni Ward
Artist Statement
My work is grounded in function, has clean lines and simple decoration. It is designed
for everyday use, decoration and special occasions. I look to nature and the human
form for inspiration. It is important to me that my pots be useful and I've managed to
make people smile by adding a bit of character.
I hand make every piece in my studio next to my home in Appleton, Maine. The
majority of my work is thrown on the potter's wheel and then altered or decorated in
some fashion. I use a white stoneware clay and fire to cone 6 (about 2200F) in an
electric kiln. All of my work is functional, lead free, and dishwasher and microwave
safe.
I learned to throw when I was 13 years old and have always taken as many clay classes
as I could. Today I am a self taught studio potter. I opened my studio in January 2004
with the goal of employing myself doing something I love to do.
I have exhibited my work at Lincoln Street Center Gallery in Rockland, Maine and at
various arts and craft shows around Maine including:
-DIRECTIONS: Maine Crafts Guild,
Mt. Desert Island Show 2005 & 2006 and Maine Audubon Show 2005
