Linda Szoldatits
My earliest recollection of creating was while growing up on the family vegetable farm. After a rainy morn, my father would gather buckets of mud and carry them over to the large field wagon for me. I would spend hours making mud pies of all shapes and sizes, waiting for the sun to break through baking each piece with its warmth.
Very little has changed for me, I still play with the earth for hours on end. Sgraffito, silk-screening, sculpture, and painting my hand-built & thrown pieces allows me to lose myself to find myself.
Katie works across the mediums of ceramics, printmaking, and painting, exploring the unique qualities of each one. She has been a member of the Hill Potters’ Group for eight years, and before moving to York Region she was the ceramic technician at the Ottawa School of Art.
