Barbara Rivolta

A retired museum professional with a background in Near Eastern Archaeology and the history of ceramics, Barbara Rivolta is a mixed media artist who combines ceramic and metal clay with glass and other materials. She loves to experiment with finding the limits of materials and how to combine various media. She is inspired by ancient art and especially by the lines and shapes of ancient pottery. Her love of nature, particularly the patterns and textures found in corals, lichens and other natural materials inform her work. She is a Senior Instructor with Camp PMC and teaches metal clay jewelry making at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center and the Tampa Bay Mineral and Science Club.
