Linda Moeser Ceramics
Meet the Maker
Hello! My name is Linda Moeser and everything here is handmade by me. I strive to create useful, comfortable and beautiful pots for the home that enrich the everyday experience and are a pleasure to use.
Much of my inspiration is driven by my love of gardening and my earlier career as a floral designer. My passion for gardening is often evident in my work. Frequently a particular flower will inspire the shape or color of a vessel. I also enjoy making thoughtful, useful handcrafted pottery that enhance the ritual of cooking and eating.
My materials are stoneware and porcelain, sometimes thrown on the wheel, often times altered. I also enjoy handbuilding from a slabs of freshly rolled clay. Over the years I have made many handmade molds for creating forms that are not possible on the wheel...and all created in my backyard studio and fired in a my electric kiln.
My family moved from Colorado to the Northern Virginia area when I was a child and I have lived in the NoVa area most of my life, with a brief stint in New York and New England. I began my study of ceramics at the Reston Community Center, with many wonderful teachers and have been making pottery for nearly a quarter of a century!
How it’s Made
White stoneware is rolled into two thin slabs, impressed with a leaf pattern and then draped over a ball. Two sides attached, smoothed and roundied. Cut into a half moon. Doodads formed and attached. Fired, glazed, fired again. BOOM!
