Research

    Lorna Meaden's work is heavily inspired by 18th century European porcelain and silver works. Her pieces use a lot of line, shape, and color to convey a feeling of an older era. I chose this artist because her mugs had great shape in them that we don't see too often in the 21st century. I also liked the glazes she used to give it an antique air. Lorna currently lives in Durango, Colorado and works as a full time potter; she uses and prefers porcelain over any other type of clay. She has a MFA in ceramics and a BA in art and has taught ceramics in several colleges. Lorna has received many awards over the years such as the Sean Shanahan Purchase Award, the Merchandise Award, and the Elmor E. Craig Award. She has also represented her artwork in  galleries such as the Harvey/Meadows Gallery in Aspen, Colorado and The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
