BIOGRAPHY
Amy Doigan is known for functional wheel thrown porcelain plates, platters, bowls, teapots, pitchers, covered jars, cups, and mugs that are typically reduction fired. The surface treatment is slip trailing and/or brushwork in white, blue, and lavender under a transparent glaze. Motifs include dragonflies and flowers.
In 1988 Amy Doigan moved from Baltimore Clayworks to a studio shared with fellow potter Peter Kaiser. In their shared work space, they built a gas kiln.
