Linda Wilson is the
Crazy Potter from Fouriesburg in the Eastern Free State of South Africa.
She
studied Ceramic Design at Wits Technikon and received her National Higher
Diploma in 1996 before setting up her own ceramic studio.
She now employs three
local ladies, and all her functional ware is produced by slip- casting, a small
batch production method that ensures each piece is identical in shape. The
unusual shapes are all Linda's own designs and unique to her pottery. Each piece
is then individually hand decorated. Linda finds her inspiration from Art
Nouveau patterns, nature and the textural influences of African art and the
African landscape. The earthy colours and hues used on her pieces are a direct
link to the environment in which she lives and works. Her work is all
dishwasher, microwave and oven safe.
