M RATHSACK

M Rathsack, Dancing Potter, started her clay journey as a student at the University of Northern Colorado after changing her degree from art education to ceramics.

She ended up moving to the south where she taught Outdoor Education for several years, started her own art school, then finally came back around to creating in clay after an 8 year hiatus.

After twenty years of piddling about in several studio spaces, teaching and learning from other potters at various institutions, selling her work at every art or craft fair and art gallery in the area, she finally settled into her unique voice.

M now creates abstract slab-built wall pieces, raku-fired with a touch of assemblage, heavily influenced by nature. She’s looking forward to a new project delving into a series based on the four National Parks in Colorado and the stories those wild places have to tell us.

And yes, she likes to dance…
