Kaaren Stoner, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In 1963, Stoner spent a year in Sweden studying at a small school near Stockholm. \u201cThat year changed the direction of my life,\u201d she says. \u201cI had the opportunity to do some handweaving, and also touched clay for the first time I can remember.\u201d Back home in the US, she changed her major to art, having been influenced, she says, by \u201cthe strong aesthetic of Swedish design.\u201d She was reminded of those experiences while traveling in Europe five years later. An exhibition of pottery in Vienna set her to thinking how she might spend her life with clay. When she returned from her travels, her studies included a month-long intensive in pottery at Penland School of Craft before receiving an MFA in ceramics in 1973. \u201cAnd here I am, years later, still so happy to spend a day in my studio, manipulating clay either on the potter\u2019s wheel or hand building from slabs,\u201d she says. \u201cI still have more ideas than I find time to try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She set up studios in Washington State, Idaho and Ohio before moving with her husband David Erickson to WNC, where they opened Twigs &amp; Leaves Gallery, in Waynesville, in 1998. In 2007, the Stoners sold Twigs &amp; Leaves to current owners Carrie and John Keith.<br \/>\nSince then, Stoner has continued to create, working in her private studio at her home in Haywood County\u2019s Iron Duff community, where, she says, she manipulates clay the same way people have done for thousands of years\u2014either by hand or on the potter\u2019s wheel.<\/p>\n<p>The only modern conveniences related to her pottery work that she owns are an electric wheel and a slab roller\u2014a special table with rollers that allow her to roll out clay in sheets as thin or thick as she wants. \u201cThe slabs I roll out, I use for what potters call \u2018hand-building,\u2019 forming some pieces around or over a vast collection of various forms that I have saved, scrounged or made for just this purpose,\u201d she says. \u201cOr, sometimes I use the slabs to construct pieces without benefit of a form; this is when I make free-form sculptural pieces.\u201d Using one or both of these methods, Stoner adorns all of her thrown pieces with ceramic leaves made from thin slabs in which she has impressed a real leaf. \u201cThe real leaf gives me the outline and the vein pattern,\u201d she says. \u201cNo leaves are used twice; therefore, all pieces are unique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She calls the creations of recent years mixed media works because the pieces are finished off with grapevine or kiwi vine after the firing process. \u201cIn the past, I have made anything and everything for the kitchen or home, including small indoor fountains,\u201d Stoner says, \u201cbut for the past number of years, I have focused on vases, baskets and bowls, both thrown and hand-built.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stoner finds beauty in rocks, shells, leaves, branches, flowers, fruits, nuts, eggs, vegetables, and their natural simplicity, in turn, influences her designs. The artistry of her pottery making, she says, comes in treating each piece\u2014no matter how small\u2014as unique, individualistic and worthy of being the best it can be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy clay work is what keeps me grounded,\u201d she says, \u201cand brings me to a place of inner peace in this chaotic world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Kaaren Stoner\u2019s work is represented by regional galleries including Twigs &amp; Leaves Gallery, Waynesville.
