THE SOFT EARTH SPEAKS
The Soft Earth's History
In 1996, potter Joan Lederman was firing her kiln when Chris Griner brought a bucket of deep sea sediment from Research Vessel Oceanus. Unaltered, It melted into ceramic glaze. For the next 23 years Joan produced pots glazed with sediments and rock powders that carried provenance about their sources. Explore the "About" section for highlights from those years.

OLD NEWS:
After 46 years having a series of fuel-burning kilns, I dismantled the last one and stopped making pots in 2016. NEW NEWS: Every day a surprise. Listening to books. Administering Airbnb spaces. Participating in learning-full community events. Whittling down the task list. Moving through each day more symmetrically in a timeless landscape. Noticing color vibrations. Living in questions. |
