MaryJane Findley works with slabs and coils to make sculptures and vessels with surfaces that reference the textures of trees and of underwater life. She uses her own formula for a copper/verdigris glaze as well as other glazes that accentuate the lumps, bumps and imperfections of the finished surface.
