Carol Furman is a potter with a studio is located near Rush Lake, Saskatchewan. Carol has worked with clay for several years, initially in Brooks then High River, Alberta and for the past 25 years in SW Saskatchewan. She makes functional objects as well as sculpture with medium – fire clay. This clay is mined in the Eastend area of SW Saskatchewan.
“There is a great feeling here of a close connection to both the land and the sky. Our prairie landscape is always an inspiration to recreate, reflect, and interpret into my work. Clay is a wonderful medium to use to build on that expression as you are actually using part of the landscape as your material,” states Carol. “Clay and I have worked and grown together for a long while now but I still have not uncovered all it’s secrets. There will always be the challenge of trying to reach for clearer expression and more technical skill. That will never finish.”
