Judy Rohrbaugh

Rohrbaugh, Judy

Clay

Judy Rorhbaugh’s pottery features a combination of clay and pine needle basketry. The basketry is done using a coiling technique with long leaf pine needles, gathered from the forest floor in the southeastern United States. Needles range from ten to sixteen inches in length. Raffia, which comes from palm trees, is used for the stitching. Rohrbaugh uses raffia and needles in their natural state, and also hand dyes them to use in various colors. The pots are wheel thrown stoneware or raku, decorated with engobes and glazes that she formulated and mixed. The stoneware is fired over 2300 degrees for twelve hours; raku is fired outside in a primitive kiln. Each piece is an effort to incorporate the two mediums in a complimentary way. The end result is nature inspired pottery, influenced by being created in the United States.
