Sondra Elder

Sondra Elder is an amazing artist whose incredible use of colors and crystal designs produces functional pieces that simply take one’s breath away. As a self-taught artist, her mastery of firing processes highlights her talents in and passion for the ceramic artform. Her unique process showcases her talent for striking the perfect balance between capability and beauty; “With my pottery, my chosen medium is porcelain because its strength and delicacy learn to live in harmony. It is my perfect canvas to display the beautiful zinc-silicate crystals that can only be created through normally destructive fire. These naturally occurring phenomena inspire my never-ending desire to artistically harness their capability on the backdrop of my forms – which equally exude capability and femininity”.
