Glazed Earth

Judy Boyer Finnegan--Glazed Earth
I first started working in clay about 16 years ago while a student at Texas Tech University. Just within the last two and a half years I have begun again. I work in white earthenware clay and low-fire glazes. I roll the clay out into slabs; stamp the clay with handmade stamps, found stamps and found objects. Then I cut shapes from the stamped clay and use slumped molds to make the form I desire. Those pieces are then attached to others to form a vase or wish vessel or whatever.

My latest series of pieces are connected with the job I have during the week. As a tailor's assistant I am around fabrics with texture, color, and decorative patterns. I have acquired many scraps of lace and other textural fabrics to press into the clay. I then glaze the pieces in bright colors.

Sandi Devenny

I am an artist; illustrator, designer, crafty chick. I love creating stuff!

For as long as I recall, I've had a passion for art -- doodling, painting, needlework, collage, etc. As a child I was greatly inspired by my mother's sewing and how she persistently created handmade items for me to play with. Through the years my love of sewing and fine needlework had grown, and soon after the birth of our son it fully emerged. With him as my main source of inspiration, I've been continuing to create a variety of children related items including, onesies, booties, bibs, finger puppets, dolls and currently an array of plush creatures. With support from my husband, family and friends I've continued to evolve and have gladly moved forth into the urban rise of crafting.

I reside in Overland Park, Kansas, where each item is fabricated locally and handmade with extra love. I'm ecstatic to share my creations with you and I hope you'll enjoy everything as much as I've love creating it!
