Lynda Katz
Lynda Katz is a studio potter who has lived and worked in southeast Louisiana since 1973. She currently creates both one of a kind pieces and a line of functional and decorative porcelain at her studio outside Independence. Her work is well known in the southeast and has been shown nationwide in shops, galleries and exhibitions. Her work is represented in private and public collections and has received numerous awards.
She received her B.A. degree in 1968 from Douglass College in New Jersey, where she studied ceramics with Hui Ka Kwong. In 1971, she received her M.A. in ceramics from Florida State University. Her work is highly informed by studies in the history of ceramics, especially Chinese Song dynasty porcelains with their jade like celadon glazes over wheel thrown and incised forms. Another important inspiration for her is the Louisiana landscape.
