Exquisite Artisanship

Jacobson has said of her work: Pottery making was my first, and enduring love.  My return to making pots full time in 2016 after a twenty-year deep affair with carving small wood sculptures has been a remarkably interesting period of growth for me.  Studio ceramics has changed and blossomed a great deal since I began making pottery in 1970 and carving porcelain from the mid 1980’s to 1995.  There is so much more now to learn about and to try!

Loughridge states: My mediums are oil paint, watercolor, graphite, ink, etching, serigraph. I've been drawing since I was a child, which is not unusual. What is unusual is having a father who's an artist and printmaker. With his unyielding encouragement, I kept drawing. Armed with a passion for creating artwork and a suspicion for the orthodox, I began finding my own way as an artist.
