Rose Ellen Lindsey
Rose Ellen Lindsey
Brandon, MS
Pottery: Ceramics
Guild member since 2008
Rose Ellen Lindsey is employed full time with a telecommunications company in Jackson, but gets to build her pottery in the evenings and on weekends. With her husband, Ken, she has established the N_KREBEL Pottery Studio in Brandon. Rose Ellen uses nature themes in much of her pottery- sycamore leaves, nuts, sweet gum balls, even small ‘critters.’ She won a Blue Ribbon at the Tallahatchie Riverfest organization for placement in the New Albany Museum. Rose Ellen doesn’t stick to one theme or type of design. “My inspirations seem to come from all my waking movements. Everyone and everything in life has the potential for my using it in my pottery.”

Pottery
Guild member since 2008
Warren owns and operates a pottery studio in Raleigh and formerly owned and operated one in Arizona. He fires most of his pottery in a gas kiln, but also uses alternative methods such as raku firing and pit firing. To Warren, pottery is more than a means of earning a living, and he takes pride in his work, the quality of it, and the pleasure it brings to others. “When creating individual pieces of pottery, I keep in mind that my work will be enjoyed by families around the world, and will be passed down through generations.

Clay
Pottery
Guild member since 2019
Pottery is deeply integrated in Eryn’s life. Handmade brings the soul back down to earth and to our ancestors in a way no other art form can. Eryn says that when she began learning ceramics, she had no intention other than to fill a time slot in her college freshman schedule, but she quickly I fell in love with it. Eryn remembers sitting in her uncle’s pottery studio, watching him work, and she credits him as being the greatest influence on her work. She is inspired by the earth around her, and she emulates natural textures and colors in her surface designs.
