About Rachael DePauw:

ā€œI currently live and work in New Orleans where I maintain an active studio career, while raising three beautiful girls. Since graduating from Tulane University, Iā€™ve become increasingly influenced by both the aesthetic and philosophic concepts associated with New Orleansā€™s Newcomb Pottery tradition. Through a process called Sgrafitto, I create bold relief patterns and use design motifs referencing Louisianaā€™s indigenous flora. On the pre-fired vessel, I paint a thin layer of black slip (liquid clay) and then use a small tool to carve through the slip revealing the white clay beneath. The linear and abstract patterns created reflect New Orleansā€™s unique landscape, and reference the blue and greenish wares of Newcomb Pottery. My goal is to make items not only functional, but also beautiful, detail-oriented, and engaging.ā€
