BIOGRAPHY

 

Lynn Cannici is known for wheel-thrown porcelain functional pots. Some pots are high-fired in a gas kiln, others are fired to mid-range in oxidation. The edges of her pots are often altered.

Lynn Cannici’s work is influenced by Chinese Sung Dynasty pottery for the simplicity of line.
