Peggy Loudon - Pottery
Arcata Artisan since 2025
By integrating form, proportion and texture, I strive to create work that brings a sense of calm and beauty to the home. Work that transcends time and will continue to have integrity throughout my lifetime and beyond. I am drawn to the subtle qualities of both Asian and Scandinavian design. The gentle curves and clean lines speak to me on an aesthetic and spiritual level. My traditional forms are individually hand thrown and high fired in a reduction atmosphere in my gas kiln. To stay fresh, I challenge myself by experimenting with new clay bodies, firing techniques and surface treatments.
After many years of throwing, trimming, glazing and firing pots, I still find the process fascinating, stimulating and rewarding. I consider myself lucky and am grateful every single day.
