Lolo Robison

I rely on wheel-throwing and hand-building to create functional “every-day” ware. For added interest, my vessels may be altered. Pots are fired in a reduction atmosphere to Cone 10.

Hand-built warrior goddesses are raku-fired. They are decorative, symbolizing every woman’s quiet suffering and heroic survival; evoking the power, grace and voice of women the world over.

My mother is the Original Goddess and my inspiration. She approaches pottery as a necessary life skill. “If you want pots, make them,” she says. At 85, she still sews, gardens, lifts weights, throws pots and serves meals fit for a queen.
