BIOGRAPHY
Linda Arbuckle is well known for brightly colored majolica glazed functional ceramics. She uses terra cotta clay fired in an electric kiln. Her process involves the use of underglaze slips that are covered with wax resist before the background glaze color is applied. Arbuckle’s pieces are decorated with floral motifs often outlined with thin black lines.
