REBECCA PIERRE, CLAY ARTIST

 After many years of playing with words, shaping them into poems, I decided in the Fall of the year 2000 to try shaping clay into forms - something I had always wanted to do. A sort of taking my poetic thoughts and turning them into solid form. Now I am addicted to pots, poetry and the poetry of pots.
