BIOGRAPHY
Joyce Jablonski is known for hand built organic earthenware sculptural forms. Surface techniques include underglaze and textured glazes. " Jablonski is fascinated by dualities in nature, mathmatics in words, and is engaged by naural shapes ans forms. She considers the psychological, the intellectual, the cultural and spiritual melding of these separate elemants into process created objects of extraordinary beauty and intellect." [1]
