Ellen Statz

Specialty

raku exhibition pieces
featuring botanical textures and impressions

The Art

Ellen specializes in raku pottery, using tiles or slabs which she then hand forms and alters to create wall murals, vases and plates. Her current interest in botanical textures and impressions are the main theme of her work, but Ellen also loves to make whimsical sea stars and moon snails. In the firing, Raku really brings the work to life in an amazing interplay of texture, pattern and iridescent colour set against a rich background of blackened clay.

The Artist

Ellen Statz was born and raised in Campbell River BC, where she still resides. Ellen obtained a degree in Fine Art at Malaspina College in Nanaimo.
