Linthicum Hearts Desire Pottery

Clay

As a gardener comfortable in the dirt, Linthicum finds satisfaction using that same type of medium, clay, to try and replicate Nature’s art.

Porcelain allows her to create a three dimensional, tactile effect and try to bring native habitat to life for others to enjoy year round in their homes and gardens.

Through handbuilding, slabwork and coiling the clay is manipulated into buds breaking from the surface just as real blossoms spring from the soil. Mason stains and underglazes give a wide palette to paint the details, then a clear glaze is added and fire to cone 6. Some pieces are further enhanced with lusters.

Some regular visitors may recognize Lori’s work from the Old Mill Shop, where she has sold for many years.

Celebrate #National Plum Pudding Day!

February 12, 2020 by Tracy Kirkman

 

Although we don’t have a heritage food maker doing plum pudding for the Fair, we still wanted to celebrate #NationalPlumPuddingDay. The food blog “Savoring the Past” has some amazing 18th & 19th century recipes and the video blogs are chocked full of history tidbits. This Hunter’s Pudding, a form of plum pudding, looks really tasty. [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzH5B0T2GYU[/embedyt]
