About

Beth and I work together to make our pieces and we can both be seen in the booth at any given market. Beth has a BFA in Ceramics and a MS in Art Therapy and has made potter for over 35 years. She loves to let the clay help design the piece is she throwing. Everything she makes is wheel-thrown. She started selling her pottery in 2005 and had immediate success with her unique designs. In Beth's own words "To me nothing has more potential than a lump of clay about to be thrown. A lump of clay has no real form or function: no future or purpose....I love raw clay! I love being a part of it's transformation. I love the process. In my mind, my work never looks better then right before I take it off of my wheel, or finish assembling it before it sits to dry. I throw to make inventory. I throw to make art. I throw to relax, reflect, and think. I throw because I'm a potter & that's what potters do. Any artist will tell you they make art because they have to and that is what makes an artist an artist. Being a potter is not my job, it is who I am. Sharing my art is what I do, and giving my art a home makes the customer an integral part of the process." The name Skyspyders came from our two dogs: Sky and Spyder - both who were an inspiration.
