I have mentioned my talented potter daughter previously. I am so proud of her as she continues to grow and create fabulous art. Recently she has been featured in a glossy magazine from the UK called Art Reveal
In the article she states, I’m privileged to participate in the cycle of handmade artifacts.
Here is the link to the complete article.

If you get a chance to read it, you will see she is not only a talented artist, she is also very articulate.
Following are a few of her recent pieces.
Susa, wood-fired stoneware
Ocean Momma
Amphora
Raku Shake Basket
Rhythm of the Dance
To see more of her work, check out her website. https://madmudslinger.com/
She will ship anywhere in the world!!
To see your children doing what they love and doing it well is the best reward for a parent. I couldn’t be more proud.

How wonderful to see your daughter’s talents expressed in both writing and visual art. You have a right to feel proud of her artistry. My son’s photography and sculpture graces some of the walls and tables in our house. Yes, I feel gratitude too!

I love her work. She is indeed talented and has an original flair for her creations. You have reason to be proud, Darlene.

Lovely, Darlene. Her work has an “ancient” feel to it. I’m interested in clay jugs these days since mine from the 1750s inspired my latest novel. Good for her!
August 18, 2018 at 7:36 am
It does have an ancient feel. I like that she calls her work handmade artifacts. That is so wonderful that your clay jug inspired your book!

Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
Darlene Foster is justifiably proud of her artistic daughter whose work has been recently featured in prestigious art magazine in the UK… love the pottery and I can see why Darlene is so proud.

Wow congrats to your daughter Darlene. Lots of talent in your family 🙂 x

Thanks, Debby! She is much more talented than I am. She was determined to follow her dream from day one. All I did was encourage her.
August 20, 2018 at 1:26 am
That’s all it takes, a little encouragement. Wonderful Darlene 🙂 x

Its really artwork of its best. Thank you for sharing. Michael

These pieces are awesome. She is talented. I have a fondness for pottery and each fall when I make my rounds at the markets, I pick up a few pieces to support the local potters and to satisfy my addiction of fine pieces to eat and drink from.
August 21, 2018 at 3:21 am
Thanks, Diane. I’m pleased you like her work. I’m sure you have a nice collection by now. Thanks for supporting local potters as I know how tough it is for them to earn a living.
August 21, 2018 at 5:58 pm
No wonder you’re proud of her, quite right too. She has an interesting style and her pieces seem very tactile. The more I look at them the more I want to pick them up. I feel especially drawn to the amphora, which is beautifully formed, and the Rhythm of the Dance piece really draws me in. I don’t know how to describe it, but there’s a sort of warmth about her work that’s most appealing.
August 21, 2018 at 9:00 pm
There is a lot of her in her work. She puts her heart and soul into each piece. I´m so pleased you like it, Lorna.
August 22, 2018 at 1:38 am
Oh my, Darlene. What talent. Original, handmade pottery is one of the few things in the world that I can not resist! Your daughter’s work is gorgeous and she is indeed participating “in the cycle of handmade artifacts.” Beautiful. 🙂

I am so pleased you enjoy her work as well. She is very talented but also works hard at perfecting her craft. Thanks for the comments, Diane.
August 22, 2018 at 6:50 am
Wow! WOW! She is incredibly talented.
August 22, 2018 at 7:46 am
Thanks so much, Jennie. I am overwhelmed by everyone’s response. This is her passion and it shows through.

Your daughter is very gifted. You have every reason to be proud of her 🙂

Darlene, it’s nice to meet you and your daughter. Her work is lovely and inspiring. Your post title drew me in. I’m also the mom of two amazing daughters (and one amazing son). They bring great joy in my life.

She does amazing work. But like writing, it is difficult to make a living from it. But she is determined. Yes, very proud indeed.
November 24, 2018 at 10:28 pm
Your are grateful to have a such a great artistic daughter. She definitely makes you proud cheers!

Wow, Darlene. Thank you for showing me your daughter’s creation. Her artwork is gorgeous. I love the designs and the fine details. Since I have the pottery background using clay, I understand how they are made. I attend classes in an institute for the semiretired and retired people. There’s a ceramic class. I hope to spend at least one quarter there just for fun. I made a whale nightlight for my daughter when I was pregnant (the light shines through the blowhole and eyes). I was short of one week to finish and turned it for firing. So the top wasn’t completely dry. Where it was fired, the top had bubbles. I’ll check out her website.

It is quite a process and anything can happen at any stage. Pleased you enjoyed learning more about my potter daughter.

I wonder if your daughter use wire inside of the handles of the baskets. I like the way she makes some like ropes and some like braids. I also like the way she drips the paint.
