Ceramics “My current work is an homage to the historical blue and white ceramics that I’ve loved my whole life,” explains Catherine Lemaire Lozier. “I tend towards traditional floral motifs, but also inlay illustrations that come from my interest in mythology, folk tales, and sacred narratives. I aim to make beautiful pots that add warmth and interest to folks’ homes. I continually challenge myself to improve on my work, making it prettier and more useful.”
Catherine carves her white stoneware freehand and then coats the pot in a contrasting color of slip, filling the carved lines. She then cuts off the layer of slip, leaving the color in the carved lines only.
“I have always loved making art and working with my hands. The decision to make art professionally came about when I decided to change my life and go study ceramics at a traditional craft school.”

What advice would you give to a young artist just starting out?
Find a group of working artists and join them. Join an artists’ guild, craft guild, or neighborhood artists group. Participate in their shows, fairs, and exhibits.
How do you know when a piece is finished?
I am usually pretty critical of my work. I’m not being hard on myself, but I’m always looking for insight on how to improve my pieces. So, I often spend some time analyzing the pots before I can look at them from a little distance and enjoy them.
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you've ever been?
I would love to know how many different answers I’ve given to this question. 🤣 This year I will say: I once travelled in Spain and Morocco and I was in awe of the pottery and ceramic tiles in both countries.
