2 Kate Brown Pottery Bowls, measure 3.5'' x 4'', both are signed on the bottom, FYI: ''Kate Brown has worked as a potter for all her adult life. Her first touch of clay at age 19 assured her this was the substance her hands were waiting for. Her formative apprenticeship at Jugtown Pottery in Seagrove, North Carolina in the early 1970s set her goal to work as a rural potter. She still draws inspiration from earthenware traditions: the Anglo-American potters of the former British colonies, and that of the Mexican-American borderlands, where she has made her home for the past 25 years. In 1983 she established her studio Kate Brown Pottery in its present location in Southwest New Mexico. She added tile to her production in 1994. Kate has become a master of slip-decorated, clear-glazed terra cotta ware. She is currently experimenting with glaze color and texture over her slips. She says, ''I love clay and working with clay slips. I mix them from my own recipe and I enjoy their creamy sensual texture. They are painterly and they move like clay.'' Over the years, she has made thousands of pots.''
