Shoshona Snow is a ceramic artist residing in Kingston, NY.

"I pretty much just make what I like. I'm not a production potter. Most of my items are one of a kind.

I'm a huge design freak and am inspired by the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. My work has a wonderful, tactile quality...you just want to touch, touch, touch. I love clean lines and clean colors.

Most of my work is thrown on the potter's wheel, although I do some hand building as well. I use fine grolleg porcelain. The entire outside surfaces are usually painted with a black slip (liquefied clay) and carved so the white porcelain beneath it is shown. This process is called sgraffito. The work is dried slowly and fired in the kiln. It is then glazed and fired once more to 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. The work becomes vitrified and durable and is food safe even when not glazed." -Shoshona Snow
