The natural world, the beauty that I see in everything around me flows both consciously and subconsciously through all my designs. I love taking the raw materials and making them “move” with my hands into the shapes and textures that I picture in my mind. That, plus the play of colors on those shapes from different glazes in tans, blues, and greens, produces pottery that is both decorative and functional.

Nell has been a professional goldsmith/jeweler and potter for more than 30 years. She is an ACV Juried Master Artisan and Juried Round the Mountain Artisan. She is currently the ceramics instructor at Ferrum College in Ferrum, VA. She also teaches a broad slate of Metalsmithing courses for the Floyd Center for the Arts in Floyd, VA
